Скачать или смотреть Bumpy Johnson vs. The Mafia: The Untold Battle for 1960s Harlem

The true story of Bumpy Johnson vs. The Mafia for control of 1960s Harlem. After a decade in Alcatraz, the legendary "Gentleman Gangster" returned to a neighborhood on the brink of revolution and a heroin epidemic fueled by the Genovese crime family.

This documentary-style narrative delves into Bumpy Johnson's two-front war. Publicly, he clashed with "Fat Tony" Salerno and the Italian Mafia, refusing to let Harlem become a puppet state. Privately, he waged a moral war, navigating a complex alliance with Malcolm X while his own criminal empire poisoned the streets. We explore key flashpoints: his role as a shadow governor during the 1964 Harlem Riots, the devastating impact of Malcolm X's assassination on his plans, and the FBI's relentless "Operation Checkmate."

Was Bumpy Johnson a ruthless 1960s Harlem gangster or a necessary protector? We analyze his "Johnson Doctrine," his mentorship of a young Frank Lucas, and his final attempts to fund community programs with criminal profits—a man forever caught between the boardroom and the block.
