The Disgusting Truth About Len Bias They Hid For Decades

He scored two thousand one hundred forty-nine points at Maryland and none at all in the NBA. Forty years later his name is not in a record book — it is written into a federal statute, and the neighborhoods that statute emptied were the ones he came from. This film goes through it on paper, hour by hour: what the University of Maryland knew, how a four-year starter left College Park twenty-one credits short of a degree, the call his friends made before anybody dialled 911, and the single line in the medical examiner's report that almost nobody heard in 1986. You will also hear why the man charged in that room walked free the following June, and what happened to his younger brother Jay four and a half years later.
