Freeway: Crack In the System

Al Jazeera America will premiere Freeway: Crack In the System, an original two-part documentary by award-winning filmmaker Marc Levin (SLAM, Mr. Untouchable, Brick City) chronicling the extraordinary rise, fall and redemption of Freeway Rick Ross, the man considered responsible for ushering crack cocaine into Los Angeles and ultimately across the United States. Produced by Al Jazeera America in association with Blowback Productions and Royal Interactive Studios, this is a story of broken dreams, drug dealers, dirty cops, and government complicity—proving once again that documentary is more compelling than fiction. The film’s original title track “Crack in the System” is written and performed by Snoop Dogg. (Source: Al Jazeera America)
