Journalist Jerry Langton presents a history of organized crime in Canada and shows how Canada's crime families, bikers, and youth gangs are waging a war for supremacy. Organized crime in Canada has long been dominated by the Hells Angels and their friends in the Rizzuto mafia crime family. Over the years, they have brought many street gangs into their alliance, most notably the Indian Posse, many sets of the Crips, the Independent Soldiers and the Red Scorpions. Through a variety of sources the Hells Angels and the Rizzutos could always get the commodities -- marijuana, cocaine, meth, ecstasy, cash, steroids, women -- that fed organized crime. But their strong-arm tactics have always created an opposition -- the Cotroni family, the Musitanos, the Outlaws, the Bandidos, the Rock Machine -- all less familiar names to Canadians. Canada's crime families, bikers and youth gangs are waging a war for supremacy across Canada, and innocent Canadians often get in the way. The history of the rivalries, the current tensions and the build-up of anti-Hells Angels/Rizzuto family forces in Canada. The risk and the fallout of Canada's true-crime cold war. .
