"Cocaine True Cocaine Blue" is a photo collection by Eugene Richards, an American photographer, writer, and film director. Born in 1944, Eugene Richards graduated from Northeastern University and studied under Minor White, one of America's leading photographers. In the 1960s, he participated in the civil rights movement, and after engaging in social activities such as volunteering, he released his first documentary, "Few Comforts or Surprises: The Arkansas Delta," which focused on the poverty and racial issues of black people in the southern United States in 1973. As a member of Magnum, Richards has been praised for "blending the intimate and the public by frankly depicting the suffering of poverty, disease, and addiction." This book is a detailed record of drug addicts, drug dealers, prostitutes, and the police who crack down on them in three urban communities. The decadent cityscape, people enjoying drugs, and police with guns in their hands... Many of the characters are black, and the film vividly depicts the grim atmosphere. It is a documentary that confronts the dark side of society head-on and portrays it realistically. Softcover edition. (Included in 802 photo books)
