Summary

"This provocative exploration of HBO's iconic show touches on issues of not just race, but also class, power, gender dynamics, police brutality, addiction, sexuality, and even representations of Baltimore itself through a Black Lives Matter lens for some, but Black reality for so many others. Regardless of the perspective, Cracking the Wire during Black Lives Matter is an engaging and compelling conversation about one of the most important shows in television history"--Back cover
