North of 96th Street

North of 96th Street is a documentary-style film showcasing the life and work of legendary NYPD homicide detective and film producer, Randy Jurgensen.

From Harlem a half a century ago to the present day, the film weaves together a litany of landmark police cases with some of the most iconic Hollywood crime films of all time, using Jurgensen’s detective and silver screen work as the common thread.

The story is told against the backdrop of a tumultuous time in American history which sees the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the war in Vietnam, and the city of New York buckling under the explosive mix of militant movements, the Mob, drug-fueled crime, and an out-manned & out-gunned police department.

South of 96th Street was six o'clock news. But North of 96th ... it was just another homicide.

Jurgensen is the genuine article. He stands among the best detectives in the NYPD. The mosque case of '72 is one of the most storied cases in history and Circle of Six holds no punches.

Circle of Six takes us back to a time of despair in New York City that we'd all like to forget but can't. We must understand the mistakes of that time so we don't repeat them again.

This book puts you in the riotous Harlem streets amidst the chaos, anger, fear, betrayal, violence, and death. Every cop should read it. Every American should read it. You won't believe what they did.
