One Year in a Life of Crime (1989)
A precedent-setting documentary that offers a unique perspective on the people who turn to a life of crime, violence and drugs. America Undercover records the lives of three professional criminals in their 20s - Rob, Fred and Mike - over the course of a year, from 20 March 1985 to 16 March 1986. In addition to their family life, we see hidden camera footage of actual crimes in progress.
This is not a pretty picture with a happy ending, as Hollywood would’ve scripted it. What emerges from Alpert’s camera is an extraordinary portrayal of the ways in which people’s lives spiral deeper and deeper into despair and how violence in the home often connects with violence in the streets.
