Hairspray is pretty accurate . . .

Watch the original, though

Yes, all the later versions are nothing but cheap copies profiting off the original.

Ask these folks

(Or you could watch all 250 of their five minute histories. Not a single one of which is actually that short. 😄)

Too Many Names by Keston De Coteau
Now before everyone starts downvoting for the unfortunately true subject matter it was made by a Baltimore native. Keston told me about his work while giving him a Lyft a couple months ago. When someone asks if I’ll check out their creative work, I do. Even if it’s a bad SoundCloud mix tape, but fortunately Keston’s documentary was very much worth the time.
It was an engaging doc that didn’t try to be emotion porn, it just told it like it is without going out of its way to be “in your face”. Personally it managed to make me give a shit and take inventory of what goes on in the west side of Baltimore.

Divine Trash is a documentary that covers mainly the production of John Waters’ Pink Flamingos. Gives a pretty neat glimpse into the underground film scene in Baltimore in the early 70’s.

I think a better answer would be to read Sherry Olsen's book "Baltimore" and "West Baltimore Neighborhoods- 1840-1960" by Roderick Ryon. Both books give the long view of what has taken place, esp since WWII. Neither shed much light on the many people who have strip mined the city for its wealth but not restocked to keep it healthy for the future. Seems that may be too dangerous.

Charm city was really good. Although it is not focused on the topics you mentioned.

Thanks!

Since people are listing fiction and works that do not even cover historical Baltimore, I may as well add Step to the list.
