4.0 out of 5 stars a classic
I remember first seeing this multi-part special in my early twenties and being struck by how deep Koppel and co. went with the story. Reporters, cops, addicts, dealers, and parents were all interviewed right there on the sidewalks in what was certainly as harrowing a neighborhood as you could find in the entire country at the time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst 20 bucks I ever spent
I cannot believe the whole series was not included on this dvd. It felt like it lasted 30ish mins. . The worst part is they even tell you to stay tuned for the rest of the series which never happen. Awful! What did they run out of DVD tape lol?? Cheap rip artist!
