Show Me A Hero

In an America generations removed from the civil rights struggles of the 1960’s, the young mayor (Oscar Isaac) of a mid-sized city is faced with a federal court order to builds a small number of low-income housing units in the white neighborhoods of his town. His attempt to do so tears the entire city apart, paralyzes the municipal government and, ultimately, destroys the mayor and his political future. Told in six parts SHOW ME A HERO, from the creator of the Wire and the director of Crash, premieres on August 16th at 8PM, only on HBO.
