Frank Lucas's Forgotten Harlem Kingpin Hid $1.3 Million In His Attic — Then Got 40 Years

Everyone knows Frank Lucas. Far fewer people know Freddie Myers — "New York Freddie" — the Harlem heroin dealer who operated in the same world, moved serious weight, and kept a low profile while doing it. This documentary follows Freddie Myers' rise in the Harlem heroin trade of the 1970s, the federal investigation that targeted his organization, the $1.3 million agents found hidden in his attic, and the continuing criminal enterprise case that ended with a 40-year sentence. Using court records and contemporary reporting, we tell the story of a kingpin Hollywood left out.
