Walter White is a former methamphetamine kingpin from Alabama, who was cooking the best meth in the state for ten years before Breaking Bad debuted.

His story is told here by the Vice show Fringes, which “examines the outliers whose stories often fall out of the field of vision of the mainstream”. The episode has clocked up 1.8 million views since it landed late last week.
