A new documentary explodes the myth that the Mob steered clear of the drug trade. In fact, connections between the Mob and illegal drugs date to the 1920s, when New York racketeer Arnold Rothstein spearheaded heroin trafficking into the United States. Dope Men features an all-star cast of respected historians and authorities. After the screening, producer-writers Seth Ferranti and Christian Cipollini will discuss the making of the film and answer questions.
