IRAN-CONTRA: HOW THE CIA FUELLED THE CRACK EPIDEMIC

Join African Stream as we unravel the real-life drama that mirrors the gripping tales of a popular TV series like "Snowfall." It's the story of the Iran-Contra scandal and its devastating impact on African communities in the United States.

African Stream host Salifu Mack explores how the webs of covert US operations in Nicaragua and Iran, as well as cocaine smuggling, pummelled Black neighbourhoods in the United States. Africans have yet to recover from the resulting drug addictions and incarcerations of the 1980s and 1990s.
