The Pittsburgh Drug Trials 2015

In 1979, Pittsburgh celebrated championship victories for both its Steelers and Pirates, fueled by a sense of unity embodied in the Pirates' "We Are Family" mantra. However, beneath the celebratory atmosphere, a darker side emerged as drug use, particularly cocaine, infiltrated the team and led to a major scandal. The film explores this period, detailing how widespread drug use ultimately brought the Pirates from the baseball field to a federal courtroom by 1985, shaking the foundations of the national pastime.
