The Godfather of Harlem

Set in drug-ravaged Harlem during the 60s, The Godfather of Harlem is based on real events that took place during a time when the civil rights movement and the criminal underworld collided. This enthralling series is based on the partnership between a locally respected crime boss, Ellsworth “Bumpy” Johnson (played by Forest Whitaker) and convicted criminal-turned-preacher and activist Malcolm X (played by Nigel Thatch). The pair team up to take back Harlem from the Genovese family – a family of notorious Italian mobsters.
