Snowfall Avoids the "Conspiracy Theories" of the Los Angeles Crack Epidemic

The subject matter has been covered in various documentaries and most recently in the Jeremy Renner thriller Kill the Messenger, but John Singleton's drama will tackle the show from three different perspectives: a young black male trying to raise above his circumstances in South Central, a CIA operative who gets enveloped in the drug trade into America and a young Hispanic woman who diverges from her weed trafficking family to make bank.

"People describe it as a bomb being dropped on that area," said showrunner Dave Andron at the Television Critics Association winter previews on Thursday.

Andron and Singleton say they are staying away from the conspiracy theories about the government purposefully sending crack into black neighborhoods.
