On the front lines of AmericaâÂÂs drug war, one family is living in the crossfire in The Wire creator David SimonâÂÂs THE CORNER released by HBO Home Entertainment on DVD on 6 April 2009. Every city in America has a âÂÂcorner.â To parents, itâÂÂs a place their children should avoid. To cops, itâÂÂs the front line on what has become known as the âÂÂwar on drugs.â But to the addicts who go there, itâÂÂs the most vital piece of real estate in their desperate day-to-day-lives.
