Racism, poverty and violence. Enter the world of Rubin Carter #HurricaneTapes
Meet Rubin 鈥楬urricane鈥� Carter. To understand the events of June 1966 we must first understand him: the man, the boxer, his life and the times he lived in.
The previously unheard cassette recordings reveal his traumatic childhood, entwined with racism and violence; how he finds redemption in boxing, and how his violent persona in the ring spills out on to the streets of Paterson, New Jersey. It鈥檚 about why he thought cops targeted him, all set against the 1966 backdrop of civil rights era America.
