American Gangster tells the story of Frank Lucas - the first Harlem gangster to turn the tables on the mafia by creating a heroin network responsible for a statewide epidemic. But Hollywood got the wrong guy.


The new supply-network was the brainchild of an ex-Army sergeant, smuggling huge quantities from South East Asia into the United States.


In reality - Ike Atkinson was untouchable until Frank Lucas exacts revenge and brings him down. Ike Atkinson is the Real Story of American Gangster. 


This film was first broadcast in 2016
