King of Kings: Chasing Edward Jones

In old movies, sometimes a character would mention that they were, “Playing the numbers.” I guess I never understood what that actually meant. But before the legal lottery, there was an illegal game run by gangsters called “Policy”, and Edward Jones was the king in Chicago. This doc checks the first and most important doc box, which is to teach me about something that I never knew. Filmmakers lacked visuals for some of the story and relied on mediocre animation. I can understand you gotta do what you gotta due to tell the story - there aren’t going to be old photos of gangland assassinations, etc. But something needs to be on screen. Eddie Jones opted to flee Chicago rather than get whacked by Sam Giancana and the mob. His kids and grandkids are still around to tell his story.
