Kill The Messenger - 2014
Based on the True story of Journalist Gary Webb. The film takes place in the mid 1990s, when Webb uncovered the CIA's past role in importing huge amounts of cocaine into the U.S. that was aggressively sold in ghettos across the country to raise money for the Nicaraguan Contras rebel army. Despite enormous pressure not to, Webb chose to pursue the story and went public with his evidence, publishing the series "Dark Alliance". As a result he experienced a vicious smear campaign fueled by the CIA. At that point Webb found himself defending his integrity, his family, and his life.
Al Jazeera Documentary, 2015 - FREEWAY: CRACK IN THE SYSTEM
Tells the story of broken dreams, drug dealers, dirty cops, and government complicity—more compelling than fiction, it's the real story behind America's longest war. This documentary by award-winning filmmaker Marc Levin (SLAM, Mr. Untouchable, Brick City) exposes how the infiltration of crack cocaine destroyed inner-city neighborhoods across the country. At the center of it all is the rise, fall and redemption of Freeway Rick Ross, a street hustler who became the King of Crack and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Gary Webb, who broke the story of the CIA's complicity in the drug war; whose story is featured in the Focus Features film,Kill the Messenger, starring Jeremy Renner. Featuring exclusive interviews with Freeway Rick Ross, not to be confused with the rapper who stole his name; Webb's source Coral Baca, and wife Susan Webb; former Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff Roberto Juarez; drug trafficker Julio Zavala and many more.
