I moved to Northeast Ohio back in 1995 and when this "documentary" came on today, I'd wondered why I'd never heard most of these stories. I knew where Boston Township was, but had never heard of it being called "Helltown." So while I was watching it, I began looking things up on the internet. I became really suspicious when the supposed professor at Tri-C pronounced Cuyahoga "Coy-uh-hoe-guh." The more I researched, I finally found out this entire film is made up. The ONLY truth is that the government did start buying up homes in that location in 1974. It was to create Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area, not National Park. It did not get a National Park designation until 2000. The rest is utter BS.
