Now the subject of 1980’s Detroit street folklore, then 17 year old Richard Wershe, Jr. was said to have run a vicious, sophisticated large-scale inner-city drug operation. He was arrested as a teen and sentenced to life-without parole for a non-violent, juvenile drug offense. He remains imprisoned 30 years later. Now, journalists, police, federal agents and hit men seek to set the record straight on the urban legend known as “White Boy Rick.” In this case the truth is even stranger than the legend.

Don’t waste your time watching the hollywood version of this story. Watch this instead. Great documentary!
I didn’t like the Hollywood version. In fact I couldn’t get through 20 minutes of it. I was surprised at how unengaging it was. So thanks for letting me know this is worth watching. I have it on my watch list and now I’ll watch it for sure
