According to The Associated Press, a movie about the life of the youngest person killed in The Station nightclub fire premiers in Woonsocket today. The film, titled 41, is about 18-year-old Nicholas O'Neill.
O'Neill, a musician who performed in a rock band, was among the 100 people killed in the February 2003 fire at The Station nightclub in West Warwick.
The fire began when a pyrotechnics display for the band GREAT WHITE ignited flammable soundproofing foam on the walls of the club.
The feature-length film is directed by Christian de Rezendes, a New York filmmaker, and O'Neill's older brother, Christian O'Neill.
The movie includes home video footage and interviews with O'Neill's family and friends.
