The
Corner
to
Premiere
on
HBO
this
Sunday
4/14/00
This Sunday (4/16) at 10:00pm
eastern time, HBO will premier the first episode of a six-part miniseries
called The Corner. The series is based upon the critically acclaimed
nonfiction book of the same name, which detailed drug dealing and life
on the streets of Baltimore. DRCNet has not reviewed the HBO series,
but the book, coauthored by David Simon, a journalist and Edward Burns,
a former police detective, offers a stinging indictment of the drug war
and a searing look into how the enforcement of that policy has played out
in one inner-city neighborhood.
