We Own This City

Genre: Crime Drama

Description: A gripping HBO limited series from the creators of The Wire that exposes the corruption and dysfunction within the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force. Based on Justin Fenton's non-fiction book, the series chronicles the rise and fall of the elite police unit that was supposed to get guns and drugs off the streets but instead became a criminal enterprise itself. Starring Jon Bernthal as corrupt detective Wayne Jenkins, the show explores how institutional failures, racial bias, and the war on drugs created a culture of impunity that allowed officers to rob, extort, and abuse citizens with virtual immunity. The series serves as a damning indictment of American policing and urban policy.
