Description

"It's important that we embrace our history. So we can understand it...and leave it behind."  That's how Marc Smerling, the Oscar-nominated producer behind "The Jinx," "Catfish," and "Crimetown" describes why he's taken on his latest project.  "Crooked City: Youngstown, Ohio" delves deep into the city's sometimes sordid past, from Mafia carbombings to Jim Traficant to Amil Dinsio's massive bank heist where he made off with $30 million of Richard Nixon's cash.  Corey McCrae discusses what fascinated Smerling about the city, what the impact has been on national politics and why there's hope for a bright future.
