The Story

By Tracey Scott Wilson
Directed by Chuck Mike

“…a conscientious and absorbing new drama.” – The New York Times

In September of 1980, a talented, young, African-American reporter named Janet Cooke wrote “Jimmy’s World,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning article for The Washington Post. Cooke’s story told of an eight-year-old, third-generation heroin addict living on the dangerous streets of Washington, D.C. Public outrage pushed many social services organizations to seek out Jimmy and his family. The problem: Jimmy didn’t exist. Based on true events, The Story examines morality as the lines between truth and ambition become dangerously distorted.
