If you’re looking for an intriguing movie on Netflix, look no further than “Crack in the System,” a documentary that tells the story of convicted drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross, who served 20 years in prison for his crimes. The film chronicles multiple tangled stories, including his legal battle with the famed rapper over the name, allegations about the government’s role in a plot to bankroll Nicaraguan rebels with drug money from sales in South Central Los Angeles, and Ross’s road to redemption. The latter revolves around his learning to read and write, study law in prison—ultimately helping him fight to reduce his life sentence— and his new found mission to help incarcerated and at risk youth learn from his mistakes. After watching the trailer, it’s likely you’ll be compelled to check this Marc Levin directed documentary.
