Watch CRIPS AND BLOODS Tonight on Independent Lens
It’s a civil war that’s lasted 40 years. Passed down from son to son. Fought eye for an eye. Over 15,000 dead and counting, while the world stands by. Welcome to South Central Los Angeles. But what’s at the root of this long-standing battle? Filmmaker Stacy Peralta hits the streets of L.A. to find out, and speaks with former and current members of the Bloods and the Crips, two of the most notorious and violent street gangs in America.
“CRIPS AND BLOODS: Made in America, a documentary feature airing tonight on the PBS series Independent Lens, begins with the arresting picture––not a picture of an arrest, although those come soon enough––of downtown Los Angeles hanging upside down in the sky,” Los Angeles Times.
Check out the trailer below:
CRIPS AND BLOODS: Made in America airs tonight at 10:00 PM on Independent Lens on PBS (check local listings)
