Description
The cast and crew of "We Own This City" attend a red carpet event in New York, as the creator of "The Wire', David Simon, brings another story of policing in Baltimore to the screen, a decade and a half after the success the HBO's series.
"We did "The Wire" and we were very critical of the drug war, and nothing changed", says Simon as the US experiences a social reckoning around police violence.
"I'm not sure that a television show, however well-intentioned, is going to move the needle on public policy". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
