Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger (18-Jan-2014)

Director: Joe Berlinger

Keywords: Documentary, Biography

Crime documentary follows the story of Whitey Bulger, a notorious Boston organized criminal wanted by law enforcement for decades.

ABSTRACT
Second only to Osama bin Laden on the FBI's Most Wanted list prior to his capture, Whitey Bulger presided over a South Boston organized crime empire for decades, carrying out his dirty deeds with little interference from authorities thanks to his service as an informant and relationship with brother Billy, former President of the Massachusetts Senate. Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger dovetails coverage of Bulger's trial following his eventual 2011 capture with an exposé on possible corruption amongst law enforcement officials complicating his arrest for ages.
