This Thanksgiving evening, tune in for The Lost North End: A Tale of Wreckage and Resilience, a 55-minute documentary exploring the destruction of Portsmouth, NH’s North End during the 1960s Vaughan Street Urban Renewal Project. Produced and directed by New Hampshire talent (including Scott Maclin, Laura Pope, Massimo Morgia, Robyn Aldo, and Julie Gagne), the film captures the story of this tight-knit, Italian-American neighborhood, its displacement, and the enduring spirit of its residents who preserved their culture and traditions.
Featuring interviews with former residents and community members, the documentary also examines the broader impact of Urban Renewal and its role in sparking the historic preservation movement.
