Ever wondered the real story behind the crack epidemic?
Well, this Friday, the dramatic thriller Kill The Messenger hits theaters. The film outlines how reporter Gary Webb uncovered the story of the men who started the crack epidemic, which leads him to discover that the CIA was aware of major dealers who were smuggling cocaine into the U.S., and using the profits to arm rebels fighting in Nicaragua.
We have an exclusive clip of Michael K. Williams as Freeway Ricky Ross (the drug trafficker, not the rapper), and Jeremy Renner as Gary Webb going back-and-forth during an intense scene from the film.
Check out a sneak peek at Kill The Messenger above and see why Renner is getting some early Oscar buzz. The movie hits theaters everywhere this Friday, October 10th.
