Synopsis

The culmination of over three decades of work from Emmy®-winning director Jon Alpert (HBO’s Baghdad ER), Life of Crime: 1984-2020 follows three friends from Newark, New Jersey whose lives have been defined and torn apart by their addictions. With unfettered access, the final part in Alpert’s epic vérité documentary trilogy chronicles Rob, Deliris, and Freddie’s lifelong struggles to end the vicious cycle of drug use as they journey in and out of prison and rehab, and their efforts to reconnect with the families they left behind. Observational, immersive, and deeply intimate, the film provides an unfiltered window into the tragic toll that addiction can take on both substance abusers and their loved ones, while also revealing the humanity of the complicated individuals at its center.
