Mr. Crack - A day in Harlem

Bobby Paige is a former crack dealer and pimp from New York City. Over the years he has seen the errors of his ways and now drives through the streets of Harlem in his "Crack-Mobile". His goal is to inform the youth of the dangers of drugs and peddle his t-shirts and book "Mr. Crack" to curious locals.

Paige's frank assessment of the highs and lows of the 1970-80's inner city drug scene are an important insight into New York's boom era of Crack-Cocaine.

i've been trying to recover from crack for five years. I used to see Mr Crack when I would score in Harlem. But the drug was too powerful. I had to leave NYC to get sober.

The crack epidemic is fucked up. Imagine all those communities devastated. Its like when things really started to decline in the inner city back in the 60's and 70's it wasnt that awful living conditions. It was terrible and obviously a level of poverty that shouldnt be accepted but it was nothing like that at all when crack hit. Just total destruction like an atom bomb with hardly any hope for rebuilding.
