One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
In 1980's Detroit, 17 year-old Richard Wershe, Jr. allegedly ran a sophisticated inner-city drug dealing operation. Now, journalists, police, federal agents and hit men are speaking for the first time about the legend of "White Boy Rick."
"This documentary features exclusive interviews and archival footage that bring to light a story that, until now, nobody knew. In the 80s, Richard Wershe Jr. became famous as White Boy Rick, an FBI informant from the age of 14. At 17, he was arrested with no less than 8 kilos of cocaine. With a sometimes skewed perspective, the director shows how White Boy Rick was merely a pawn in a much larger scheme of police corruption and political interests. A story worthy of a fiction movie. And speaking of which, it's worth noting that a fiction version is being made in Hollywood right now and is in post-production, starring none other than Matthew McConaughey ('The Dallas Buyers Club') in the cast."
