Description:
FREEWAY: CRACK IN THE SYSTEM details the story of shattered aspirations, drug trafficking, corrupt law enforcement, and government involvement—a story more gripping than fiction, revealing the truth behind America’s longest conflict. This documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Marc Levin (SLAM, Mr. Untouchable, Brick City) investigates how the spread of crack cocaine devastated urban communities nationwide. The film focuses on the journey of Freeway Rick Ross, a young dealer who rose to prominence as a major crack supplier, and journalist Gary Webb, who exposed the CIA's role in fueling the drug war. Featuring interviews with Freeway Rick Ross (distinct from the rapper), his informant Coral Baca, journalist Gary Webb, his wife Susan Webb, former Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff Roberto Juarez, drug trafficker Julio Zavala, and others.
