Colby College students Charlie Jodka and Quinn Burke spent four months making a documentary film about the South End neighborhood of Waterville.

“The South End,” a one-hour film, is scheduled to be shown at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 17, at Railroad Square Cinema, 17 Railroad Square in Waterville, admission is free.

The film documents a historical part of Waterville known as the South End. This part of Ward 7 reflects the French-Canadians who migrated to Maine and settled in this area of the city, according to a news release from Jodka.

The film is only part and parcel of the people who built their lives here through the businesses they created on the “first Main Street” — to working in the local mills, to the faith that they brought with them, to the education they wanted for their children, and the culture that is slowly being forgotten.
