Britain’s Crack Crisis: Inside Bristol’s Most Dangerous Streets | A True Story

Bristol looks like a thriving, middle-class city — but beneath the surface lies a very different reality. This documentary explores the devastating rise of crack cocaine in areas like St Paul’s and Stapleton Road, where addiction, gang warfare, and violent crime have transformed communities. With thousands of addicts, turf wars between rival gangs, and a shocking surge in violence, we uncover how one city became a hotspot for one of Britain’s most destructive drug epidemics. From former dealers to recovering addicts, and from police operations to community resistance, this is the story of a city pushed to the edge. #atruestory #bristol
