PUSHERMAN- – Best Feature Documentary Official Winner at NYC and London Festivals
The Californer/10316986

NEW YORK - Californer -- You've seen the myth in American Gangster. You've watched the dramatization in Godfather of Harlem. But the truth? You've never seen it told like this. Premiering June 24 on Tubi. "PUSHERMAN: The Real Story of Frank Lucas' Rise & Fall" rips through the Hollywood gloss to expose the raw truth behind one of the most notorious—and misunderstood—drug lords in American history. Directed by Legs McNeil, punk historian and co-author of the bestseller "Please Kill Me" (over 2 million copies sold) and narrated by journalist Mark Jacobson (whose New York Magazine article inspired the blockbuster film "American Gangster"), PUSHERMAN blends never-before-heard interviews, rare recordings of Lucas himself, and first-person accounts that finally set the record straight.

More than a documentary, PUSHERMAN is a cultural gut-check—interrogating how America turns criminals into folk heroes while ignoring the damage left behind.

PUSHERMAN is more than a documentary. It's a correction — one that questions the role of media, mythmaking, and how America glorifies certain narratives while hiding others.

Best Documentary – New York Movie Awards, Best Documentary – London Movie Awards and Official Selection – Florence Film Awards
