Description This paper comments on the mini-series We Own This City and its relevance. It describes WOTC as an example of socially relevant programming, well in tune with its renowned HBO Baltimore predecessor, The Wire. It argues that WOTC represents a valuable tool for educating its television viewers about the resistance to and necessity of institutional reform in the United States.
