FREEWAY: CRACK IN THE SYSTEM - The Real Rick Ross

Crack in the System's goal is simply to dig deeper, supply more facts, and provide the definitive story. We accomplished this by interviewing several individuals never seen on camera before speaking about the realities of their involvement with the reach of the contra scandal and cocaine epidemic. This documentary frames the picture of how it all happened. The characters we questioned ranged from Rick Ross the kingpin at the heart of the urban crack epidemic, to Julio Zavala the high ranking Nicaraguan drug seller in the center of the infamous Frogman case out of San Francisco that started all the investigations into illicit CIA activity, to Coral Baca (played by Paz Vega in To Kill the Messenger") who laid out the evidence of the U.S. government's involvement in the drug trade for Gary Webb. We even have a formerLos Angeles County Sheriff who speaks to stealing drugs and money off of black defendants, and lastly a lawmaker Eric Sterling one of the drafters of the Anti Drug Abuse act of 1986, who apologizes on camera for writing some of the most draconian prison sentences ever created for a nonviolent drug offense
