Frank Serpico
(2017) The famed NYPD officer who inspired a film classic tells his story. In the early 1970s, one man stood up to the entire New York City police force.

His one-man crusade for police reform inspired the Al Pacino classic that bears his name, but the real-life saga is as gripping as anything Hollywood could dream up. Now, Frank tells his story in his own words: from his Italian-American roots in Brooklyn to his disillusionment with the NYPD to his riveting account of a dramatic drug bust -- and possible set-up -- that ended with him being shot in the face.
