Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger
Whitey: United States of America against James J. Bulger documents the dramatic trial of James Bulger. The legal proceedings are used as a platform to investigate allegations of corruption at the top levels of law enforcement. Joe Berlinger, an Academy Award nominee, examines Bulger’s relationships with the FBI, Department of Justice, and retired FBI officers and State Police. He also meets victims, lawyers and gangsters. The film exposes shocking new claims and challenges the long-held Bulger mythology. Berlinger’s new crime documentary, which offers unprecedented access to the film, tells the universal story of human weakness, opportunism and deceit. It also reveals how truth and justice are often difficult to find. –Anonymous
