Crips and Bloods: Made in America – Trailer

Directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Stacy Peralta and Executive Produced by NBA star Baron Davis and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Stephen Luczo, CRIPS AND BLOODS: MADE IN AMERICA tells the story of the Crips and Bloods, South Los Angeles’ two most infamous African-American gangs. From the genesis of LA’s gang culture to the war-zone reality of daily life in South L.A., the film chronicles the Crips and Bloods, tracing the origins of their bloody four-decades long feud. Ex-gang members, gang intervention experts, writers, activists and academics analyze the issues that contribute to South LA’s malaise and current gang members offer testimony that provide a portrait of modern-day gang life. They articulate their enduring dream of a better life and provide the film its ultimate statement: a message of hope and redemption, and a cautionary tale aimed at saving the lives of a new generation of kids, not just in South LA but anywhere in the world where gang violence exists.
