Show Me a Hero
Created by David Simon
On HBO
A somber, historically grounded miniseries about institutional racism and political compromise, told through one mayor's struggle against his own city's fear.
Mayor Nick Wasicsko took office in 1987 during Yonkers' worst crisis when federal courts ordered public housing to be built in the white, middle class side of town, dividing the city in a bitter battle fueled by fear, racism, murder and politics.
