Now Streaming on Cpics.tv

If you think you know the history of organized crime in America, think again. Purple Gang Documentary (2022) peels back the layers of Detroit’s most ruthless and enigmatic gang of the 1920s and ‘30s, revealing a saga of power, violence, and ultimate downfall.

Who Were the Purple Gang?

Before Al Capone made headlines, the Purple Gang ruled the streets of Detroit. A group of Jewish bootleggers, enforcers, and racketeers, they controlled the illegal liquor trade during Prohibition, leaving a trail of blood and bullets in their wake. They were feared, untouchable, and, as this documentary shows, just as legendary as any mafia family.

A Deep Dive Into History

Directed by Dennis Hagan, this gripping documentary takes us inside three key locations tied to the gang’s criminal empire. The storytelling, a mix of expert interviews and eerie on-site investigations, brings the ghosts of Detroit’s past back to life. Crime historian Scott M. Burnstein provides a compelling narrative, breaking down the gang’s rise to power and their brutal tactics.

What Makes This Documentary Stand Out?

Real Crime Scenes – The filmmakers visit actual sites where the gang operated, offering a chilling sense of history.
Rare Insights – With archival footage and expert testimonies, Purple Gang Documentary separates myth from fact.
Fast-Paced & Gritty – At just over an hour, it’s a tight, no-nonsense deep dive that crime lovers will devour.

Critics’ Take: A Must-Watch for True Crime Fans

If you love mafia lore, Prohibition-era crime, or gripping historical documentaries, Purple Gang Documentary is an absolute must-watch. It doesn’t glamorize the violence but instead paints a raw picture of how power and crime led to their inevitable collapse.
