The Corner
On the front lines of America’s drug war, one family is living in the crossfire.
On HBO
A bleak, unflinching documentary-style miniseries that embeds itself in the interior lives of a Baltimore family trapped in systemic drug addiction and urban decay.
The Corner presents the world of Fayette Street using real names and real events. The miniseries tells the true story of men, women and children living amid the open-air drug markets of West Baltimore. It chronicles a year in the lives of 15-year-old DeAndre McCullough, his mother Fran Boyd, and his father Gary McCullough, as well as other addicts and low-level drug dealers caught up in the twin-engine economy of heroin and cocaine.
