Story That Could Only Be Told in Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C.—a city where the laws are made but not voted on by its own people. A city where power and oppression collide daily. A city once known as Chocolate City, now facing an identity crisis as gentrification and systemic control push its longtime residents to the margins.

At the heart of C.R.E.W. (Congress Runs Everything in Washington) Rico and Tracii, stand on opposite sides of the fight for survival in the nation's capital.

• Tracii Spencer, a fiery activist and single mother, fights tirelessly for statehood, justice, and the preservation of D.C.’s Black culture. She believes the only way forward is through collective action and political change.

• Rico, a streetwise hustler, sees things differently. In a world where the system is stacked against him, he believes the only way out is through wealth and power—by any means necessary. If D.C. is a chessboard, he refuses to be a pawn.

But this isn’t just their story. C.R.E.W. pulls back the curtain on the corrupt political machine, law enforcement, and the community’s desperate fight to survive.

• Councilman Taylor struggles between protecting his people and playing the political game, where every deal comes with a cost.

• Chris Reynolds, an undercover cop from the streets, walks the thin line between justice and betrayal.

• Agent Bundy, a DEA officer with a vendetta, sees the Black community as the reason his family was forced out of D.C. after the riots.

• Bryson, an ambitious white developer, navigates the loopholes of D.C.’s system to build wealth—without concern for who gets displaced.

As Congress exerts its control, as drugs flood the streets under the government's watch, and as law enforcement turns D.C. into a war zone, C.R.E.W. exposes the brutal reality of a city fighting for its soul.

This is not just a crime drama. This is D.C.’s untold story.
