John Wojtowicz, a Vietnam veteran, was a man who went through a series of changes in his personal life. His life was marked by a secret he kept for years, a difficult marriage, and a troubled past. Driven by a desire to provide for his partner's gender-reassignment surgery, he decided to rob a Brooklyn bank. This ultimately led to a 14-hour hostage situation, a huge media spectacle, and a life-changing event that eventually inspired the classic film Dog Day Afternoon. The EPISODE discusses the intricacies of the events, Wojtowicz's motivations, the chaos surrounding the heist, and the impact it had on him, his family, and the media.
