Gangland Undercover
Charles Falco is one of only three men ever to
infiltrate three different outlaw biker gangs. With his savvy and expertise,
not to mention his immense courage, Falco has helped law enforcement bring some
of America's most dangerous and feared gangs to justice. This first season of
The Infiltrator takes us deep inside the notorious Vagos. Falco details this
operation in the optioned book Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws: My Infiltration of
America's Deadliest Biker Gangs.
The real-life Donnie Brasco will meet Sons of
Anarchy in a way that can be Gangland 2.0 for History. With a combination of
interviews and high-end recreations, each episode unfolds a different step in
Falco's covert investigation into their illegal activities.
Working in conjunction with law enforcement and
drawing on the wealth of material from Falco's book, along with broader
documented historical research of inter-gang rivalry, this series captures the
reality of outlaw biker counter-culture: a world where freedom is equal.
