NYPD legend on ‘French Connection’ drug bust, cop killers | Heat NYC full episode

Описание: Legendary NYPD Detective Randy Jurgensen helped take down the real French Connection heroin ring—then brought it to life on screen. He later went undercover in a case that inspired the film Cruising, with Al Pacino playing a version of him, and led the NYPD’s investigation into the murder of Officer Phil Cardillo inside Harlem’s Mosque No. 7.

In this episode of Heat NYC, Jurgensen opens up about the shootouts, the politics, and the stories Hollywood couldn’t script.

🎥 REEL COP is an upcoming feature documentary chronicling the extraordinary life and career of Randy Jurgensen. Directed by Edwin Samuelson, produced by John Joseph Dunn, and edited by John Dvi-Vardhana. For more info and exclusive content: http://www.thereelcop.com
