WHITEY: United States of America v. James J. Bulger is a sweeping and revelatory documentary film 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, WHITEY: United States of America v. James J. Bulger returns to the central question of the nature of Whiteyʼs relationship with law enforcement, a complex exploration of a multi-faceted story. Was Bulger an informant, as everyone believes, or, as Bulgerʼs lawyers claim, is there actual proof that this claim is yet more misinformation and obfuscation by the government in an attempt to protect itself and preserve its convictions?

For huge development in the actual case against Whitey Bulger please read article by the Boston Globe.

The documentary will be released in Los Angeles and New York on June 27 and on VOD, followed by a national and Canadian roll-out.
