Combining unprecedented access into the world of active gangs and
historical footage, CRIPS AND BLOODS: Made In America chronicles the
decades-long cycle of destruction and despair that defines modern gang
culture.

From the genesis of LA's gangs to the shocking, war-zone reality of
daily life in South Central L.A., the film details the rise of the
Crips and Bloods, tracing the origins of their bloody four-decades
long feud from Jim Crow era discrimination through the civil rights
movement, Black Panther Party, the Watts and LA Riots and eventually
drug trafficking. Active and former gang members offer their street-
level testimony providing the film with a stark portrait of modern-day
gang life: the turf wars, the inter-gang hierarchy and family
structure, the rules of behavior, the culture of guns, death and
dishonor.
