Summary:In August of 1991, an African American boy was accidentally killed by a car driven by a Hasidic Jewish man in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. For the following three days, the Heights experienced murder, riots and racial tensions. The efforts of an African American youth leader and a Hasidic rabbi bring the polarized communities together.
