Freeway

Freeway: Crack in the System is a two-part documentary that exposes how the infiltration of crack cocaine destroyed inner-city neighborhoods across the country. At the center is the rise, fall, and redemption of Freeway Rick Ross, a street hustler who became the King of Crack, and journalist Gary Webb, who broke the story of the CIA's complicity in the drug war.

The film features exclusive interviews with Freeway Rick Ross (not to be confused with the rapper who took his name) Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb, former Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff Roberto Juarez, drug trafficker Julio Zavala, and many more.
