“Boston George,” a docu-series about notorious drug smuggler and Weymouth native George Jung, is being produced by Georgette Angelos and Chris Chesson under C2G Productions, a company they formed late last year for the project. Angelos said she convinced Jung, who was shopping around for someone to produce his documentary, to work with her after promising to give his story an authentic telling rather than the Hollywood treatment it received in “Blow,” the 2001 movie in which actor Johnny Depp portrayed Jung.

“We’re bringing out the truth of it, so everybody knows exactly what happened and why,” she said.

Production for the series began late last year but was quickly complicated by Jung’s return to jail for probation violations a month after he signed over the rights to his life story to Angelos and Chesson. His first sit-down interview with the documentary crew was conducted from behind glass at the Sacramento County Jail.

The crew has filmed in locations in California and Massachusetts and has plans for shoots in Florida, Mexico and Columbia, depending on what Jung’s probation officer allows.

In Weymouth, the crew filmed Jung as he visited with residents of his old street in North Weymouth, talked with a member of the Weymouth Historical Society about the area’s history and reminisced about his childhood with a former teammate on the Weymouth high football team.
