A cheap, powerful drug emerges during a recession, igniting a moral panic fueled by racism. Explore the complex history of crack in the 1980s.
"Where did crack come from? What influence has this drug had on global culture and, specifically, American society? These and other questions are answered in the Netflix documentary 'Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy'. Directed by Stanley Nelson (of the acclaimed 'Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution'), the feature film seeks to make a historical retrospective on the arrival, popularization, and consequences of drug use - with special attention to crack and cocaine - in the North American black population. It is a well-founded historical document and an important discussion, deepening the wound opened in the heart of the United States. It's a shame, however, that the director doesn't go beyond the interviews-archive-interviews format. It gets tiring and information gets lost. But still, it's worth it for the importance of the discussion."
