Excellent but disturbing documentary on Starz right now, "White Boy Rick". Not to be confused with the fictionalized tv show about the same guy (I will never understand why many people watch unnecessary fictionalized accounts and are bored by documentaries). SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT ON: Originally sentenced to life for non-violent crimes committed by a juvenile, he's been in prison since 1987 (and is actually scheduled to be released in a couple of weeks) because a hopelessly corrupt political system in Detroit, with the help of the FBI, actually framed him as THE cause for the decline of Detroit! To put Rick's punishment in perspective you will meet a hitman, who says he admitted to 30 murders in court, served 17 years while an actual kingpin of 1980s Detroit served @12 years!
Should have been longer, too much content to completely cover in 1 hr 22 minutes. Because it was too short, a lot of info. is jammed into a short period of time and details are left out.
