Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger

A documentary that follows the trial of the infamous gangster James "Whitey" Bulger, using the courtroom action as a springboard to examine accusations of multi-faceted corruption within our nation's law enforcement and legal systems. Throughout this violent and sordid story, the film returns to the central question of the nature of Whitey's relationship with law enforcement, a complex exploration of a multi-faceted story. Was Bulger an informant, as everyone believes, or, as Bulger's lawyers claim, is there proof that this claim is yet more misinformation and obfuscation by the government in an attempt to protect itself and preserve its convictions?
