“Best when it pauses to explore the father-and-son drama at the heart of this tale, as well as coldly examining America’s ruinous drug policy.”~Screen International

Aroview: Compelling true crime story from the director of '71, following 14-year old drug trafficker Richard Wershe Jr. who was an undercover informant for the FBI in the 1980's. A family drama at heart, buoyed by Matthew McConaughey's performance as the father whose dream of starting a video rental business is put on hold while he makes thousands of dollars dealing cocaine.
