An in depth documentary on the real life of Tommy DeSimone, the gangster who was immortalized by Joe Pesci in the movie Goodfellas. Desimone’s career in organized crime with The Lucchese Family and his associates Jimmy Burke, Henry Hill and Paul Vario, left a trail of theft, violence and murder. However much of the information repeated about DeSimone and events from his life are either questionable, embellished or flat out false.
I went on location to notable spots from Tommy's life in Queens and East New York to reference facts, stories from his associates and what was illustrated in Goodfellas in an attempt to uncover what was really true about him.
