Who made Tony Soprano?
Directed by Alan Taylor

A gritty origin story set against 1960s Newark's social upheaval, tracing how a young Tony Soprano is molded by family violence and mob influence into a future crime boss.
Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark, N.J., history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters start to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, whose influence over his nephew will help shape the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss, Tony Soprano.
