America's Last Little Italy: The Hill Continues to Inspire Via PBS and Amazon

Documentary about St. Louis' Italian-American neighborhood makes a solid case for being "America's Last Little Italy"
ST. LOUIS - EntSun -- America's Last Little Italy: The Hill, the award-winning documentary about St. Louis' venerable Italian neighborhood continues to introduce viewers across the country to the world of The Hill.
The film debuted this past summer as part of the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase where it was an unprecedented success, breaking ticket sales and viewer records. The documentary tells the story of The Hill, the St. Louis Italian-American neighborhood founded by Italian immigrants in the late 1800s. Much larger than other Little Italys, The Hill encompasses some 52 square-blocks. While the most popular Little Italys across America have lost their ethnic identity, The Hill remains an actual Italian neighborhood, not just one street of tourist attraction restaurants and shops.
"In calling the documentary, America's Last Little Italy: The Hill, we prepared for some push back - but time and time again, people were thrilled to learn that a neighborhood like The Hill still exists," said director/producer Joseph Puleo. "We have a feeling that when people actually sit down and watch the film, in the end, they will agree. The Hill truly is America's Last Little Italy."

During the festival run, the film was watched by people in many different Italian communities - including New York, New Haven, Chicago, and Little Rock. "Many commented how they couldn't wait for Covid to be over so they could come and visit The Hill in St. Louis and see what it's all about," explains Puleo.
Since its premiere, America's Last Little Italy: The Hill has garnered numerous awards, including the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase, Best Documentary at the Venus Italian International Film Festival, and Best Documentary at the Little Rock Italian Film Festival. The film was also an Official Selection at the New Haven Documentary Film Festival and featured at the St. Louis International Film Festival. The film's positive critical acclaim includes Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Costas who said the film was "captured with a clear eye and abundant heart." Additionally, the film continues to generate tremendous buzz not only regionally, but across the country and through social media.
