The Corner

In "The Corner," award-winning author David Simon and veteran drug war reporter Edward Burns explore the grim realities of a notorious intersection in Baltimore, where open-air drug markets thrive amidst urban decay. Through the struggles of a broken family, including two drug-addicted parents and their vulnerable son, DeAndre McCollough, they provide a stark examination of the failures of law enforcement, moral initiatives, and the welfare system. The narrative presents a crucial look at the cost of the drug culture while highlighting moments of hope and resilience in a community often overlooked.
