Documentary Charm City Criticized for Racial Crime Narrative
Original: Charm City released in 2018 reinforces the false media narrative that Black People murder more people than white people
The 2018 documentary Charm City, which follows Baltimore community members amid gun violence, is drawing criticism from viewers who say it reinforces the false narrative that Black people commit more murders than white people. One critic argues the opposite is true and gave the film the lowest rating, accusing it of echoing biased media portrayals of urban crime.
Why now: A viewer's critical rating of the documentary has reignited debate about how media depicts race and violent crime.
