Mayor Cory Booker, Police Director Garry McCarthy and Central High School Principal Ras Baraka join the citizens of Newark to fight an uphill battle against crime, poverty and corruption in the New Jersey metropolis. The Sundance Channel's epic five-part documentary -- a sort of nonfiction companion to HBO's crime drama "The Wire" -- offers incredible access into numerous strata of the city's society, from the gangs to the government.
