RG Steel, the company that runs the steel mill at Sparrows Point, is filing for bankruptcy. The plant is idle, and layoffs may be on the way. We’ll talk to a reporter and a union local president about the prospects for a new owner, and talk to people from the community about the toll of years of instability at Sparrows Point.

Lotfy Nathan is chronicling the lives of Baltimore’s “Twelve O’Clock Boyz,” the renegade dirt bikers who inspire some Baltimoreans and terrify others. He takes the final Maryland Morning Screen Test.

Lotfy Nathan was majoring in painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art when he first started work on the hotly anticipated documentary Twelve O’Clock in Baltimore. He’s chosen a difficult subject, and taken to it with a simple premise.
