Sundance Channel will debut documentary series “Brick City” on Monday, September 21st at 10:00PM ET and will be broadcast for five consecutive nights at 10:00PM ET. The series was executive produced by Forest Whitaker and filmmakers Marc Levin and Mark Benjamin. The five hour series of “Brick City”, the lives of Mayor Booker and Police Director Garry McCarthy intertwine with Jayda, Blood gang member turned youth mentor, who lives with her Crip boyfriend Creep, and other citizens on the front lines.
“Mark Benjamin and I were captivated by this city and Mayor Booker’s charisma. I grew up near Newark and I can testify, change is real here. But change is hard. It’s authentic human drama and that’s what we wanted to capture. From the personal to the political, the stories were so compelling, we used to joke, ‘We’re going to put the real back in reality programming” said Marc Levin.
