Untold : Crimes and Penalities (2021)



Made for Netflix, airing August 31st in the US.  
Filming location(s) unknown.
The story: James Galante was the owner of the trash business in Danbury, Connecticut.
The company was the largest of its kind on the East Coast.
It was also rumoured that James, his family, friends and lifestyle were the inspiration of the popular TV series 'The Sopranos'...
Although James made lots of money and had everything he ever wanted, the most important thing in his life were his kids.
AJ Galante, born in 1986, became the love of James' life. James wanted to get his son into football, but AJ was most taken by wrestling and hockey.
When James went away for a bit for tax fraud things got difficult for AJ but he made it through.
But now the FBI was always watching...
AJ got into playing hockey and he played really well. But an injury kept him from getting back onto the ice for good.
James, the ever so helpful father who always wanted more for his kids than he had decided he would buy the minor league , UHL hockey team DanburyTrashers franchise and name his beloved son, 17-year-old AJ whom he was very proud of, the General Manager/President of the team.
AJ loved it. He loved playing the bad guy and he loved the energy the whole thing brought.
AJ handpicked every player on the team and it became "the" team.
AJ and James would often tell their players to pick fights and this helped the players get everything they wanted but hurt them as well because the hockey commissioner would have none of it.
But it continued and the team thrived.
Their bad-boy image made them popular and the fans couldn't get enough.
But no matter how much James and AJ accomplished or were respected , the FBI was still always watching.
