Правда о США.Детройт.

Фильм о том, как  подростки-торговцы героином превратили Детройт, на то время центр автомобильной промышленности США в разруху. Причем, что интересно. эти же черные подростки воевали во Вьетнаме, а такие жестокие необразованные мобы-отморозки были очень нужны в армии США,а когда они вернулись, некоторые из них использовали полученную военную практику в наркобизнесе.

Движение хиппи против войны во Вьетнаме и как результат распространение наркотиков, коррупция, моральное разложение общества,одно наложилось на другое, и автомобильная промышленность и средний класс Детройта был уничтожен.Наркоту начали продавать прямо на рабочих местах автопрома города

Рассказывает агент DEA John Sutton, который был послан Бюро по борьбе с наркотикам внедриться и остановить торговцев наркотой и организованную преступность

 John Sutton

"and that was my first trip to Detroit, and it was my most devastating experience in my life"

"All the places that I had visited, Detroit to me was the most out of control that I ve had ever experienced"

"and when I came back to Detroit in 19 79, I was a city rotten to the core"

__________

between 1965 and 1970 violent crimes more than doubled  in the United States. Why this happened has never been fully explained, but the confluence of drugs and the breakdown of social control, associated with the  civil rights movement, and the war in Vietnam were certainly key factors.

nowhere was more out of control than Detroit Michigan.which had suffered the deadliest rate of the 60s and had become the murder capital of the country by 1971.

in the spring of 1972, the Burea of narcotics sent John Sutton to Detroit on a special assignment to infiltrated and bring down the city's largest black heroin dealers.

Some of the intelligence that we were picking up  on, indicated , that there was black mafia operating  in Detroit.

Agent Sutton arrived in Detroit to find a city divided. On the one hand, Detroit had the most thriving  black  middle class in the country,mostly thanks to the auto industry, and many people were living  the good life.

"everybody was drinking good whiskey. everybody was eating good, they were taking  trips, and then I saw kinda black affluence that I had not seen in other cities like Los Angeles,Chicago. Everybody was driving a new car, a naturally american made car,Big Cadillac,FleetWood, Bronze,Eldorados"

On the other hand, it was the city, where   entire police pricintcs were overrun by heroin dealers and stickup men.

John Sutton " I immidiately detected that that was something missing here,that was a tremendous erosion of the  political system, and erision of the  police department,  erosion of the  religious system in the city. etc
