In 1970s and 80s Los Angeles, loosely affiliated African American street gangs wage a 20 year turf war. Born of the revolutionary anti-racist ideology of the 60s, the 'gangstas' soon turn to crime. The emerging crack cocaine trade fuels staggering levels of bloodshed. As the death toll climbs past the thousand mark, the streets of Los Angeles resemble a war zone. In the middle of this gang war is the LAPD, notorious for racism, corruption and brutality. Interviews include: original Crip Angelo 'Barefoot Pookie' White; Bloods founder T Rodgers; Eight Tray Gangsta Kershawn 'Li'l Monster' Scott; former LAPD chief Darryl Gates; and LAPD gang unit veteran Tony Moreno, the real life 'PacMan' played by Sean Penn in the movie Colors.NEXTPREV
