Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy

"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 It is a well-founded historical document and an important discussion, deepening the wound opened in the heart of the United States.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."
