Death of a Phoenix
Twenty-four years have come and gone. The murder of Joel Battaglia remains a mystery. The 23-year walked out of an Eastown bar in the early morning hours of June 10th, 1990. Battaglia walked ten blocks when he was confronted by someone – or a group – and was beaten to death. With limited physical evidence, a new documentary explores motives and circumstance.
