During the festering summer of 1991, racial tensions between the African-American and Hasidic communities of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, reached a boiling point when a Jewish man accidentally struck and killed a black child while driving his car. The explosive riots that followed reached a tragic climax with the stabbing death of a rabbinical student by a black teenager and elevated the already wounded community to an almost unbearable level of grief and anger. Showtime`s original film CROWN HEIGHTS plays out against this historical background with a fictionalized story of two alliances--one between an Hasidic rabbi (Howie Mandel) and an African-American activist (Mario Van Peebles); the other between black and Jewish teenagers with a mutual love for hip-hop music--that attempt to heal their neighborhood`s widening racial divide with peace and mutual respect.
