Canal Street has too many factual errors and a bit too much melodrama for me to
give it a high rating. I do applaud the producers, crew, players for their sincere
efforts to find common ground in the USA. A country deeply divided by the
cutting edge of racism.
There was a line in Inherit The Wind where the Henry Drummond character talks about the forces of fanaticism that "are forever busy and need feeding"., Some event that they can exploit.
Such as it was with the death of Kevin Quinn in this film, a popular white kid from the Cook County suburbs found shot to death on his front lawn and left with a new friend who was black Bryshere 'Gray kneeling over him.
Gray is arrested for the crime and prosecuted in Chicago. The city is deeply divided as the various clips of commentators show. Blessed are the peacemakers indeed.
The producers of Canal Street could have used a lot of watching of Law And Order and its many spinoffs. Too many factual errors here that have been caught by me and fellow reviewers to give it a higher rating.
