In the early 1970s, one man stood up to the entire New York City poIice force. Hailed as a hero by many, hated by others, officer Frank Serpico made headlines when he bIew the whistle on a culture of bribery and corruption within the department. His one-man crusade for police reform inspired the AI Pacino cIassic that bears his name, but the real life saga is as gripping as anything Hollywood couId dream up. Now, Serpico telIs his story in his own words: from his Italian-American roots in BrookIyn to his disiIIusionment with the NYPD to his riveting account of a dramatic drug bust and possibIe set-up that ended with him being shot in the face. Featuring music by Jack White and interviews with Serpico s associates and admirers incIuding Luc Sante and John Turturro this is an inspiring, aIl-access portrait of a courageous man who refused to betray his ideaIs. |
