How Arnold Rothstien Fixed The 1919 World Series
An Original Dope Men Chronicle
Throwback to the infamous 1919 World Series! Did you know that Arnold Rothstein played a major role in the Black Sox scandal? Allegedly, he conspired with players to intentionally lose, shaking the sports world to its core. Let'sremember the impact this scandal had on baseball's integrity and the lessons learned from history!
Dope Men, a true crime documentary feature, gives an unflinching view of the Mob’s role in the illicit drug trade from its origins through modern day. It portrays the lives and times of infamous pop star underworld icons like Arnold Rothstein, Jack Legs Diamond, Lucky Luciano, Fatty Walsh, and many more shadowy and infamous characters who helped mastermind America’s first full scale drug cartel.
Dope Men also tells the parallel story of the Government’s response to the problem - Harry Anslinger and Federal Bureau of Narcotics, the predecessor to the DEA. Drug prohibition began with the Harrison Act in 1915 and continues on today. The film explores the origins of the War on Drugs, which really began in the 1920’s, and shows the 100 year parallel between the dope men and law enforcement.
Despite the pop culture ethos portrayed in movies like The Godfather, mobsters don’t frown on drug dealing. Dope Men will look at how the Mafia created the global heroin trade, how the government criminalized drug users, and the colorful cast of Jewish, Italian, and Irish Mafiosi who ran the trade from the 1920’s up until more recent times. Forget everything you’ve ever heard about the War on Drugs, this is the real story of how the mob created the paradigm for international drug trafficking.
