i just received this DVD as an ebay purchase a couple days ago, im a huge documentary fan and i have seen many other blood and crip documentaries but this one is unique.
bloods and crips made in America sets itself apart from other similar documentaries where their sole intention is mostly to entertain us and glorify gangs, but this documentary really gets deep within the world of LA gangs and reveals that their all humans and gives some explanation to their story to oppose the common belief of many people that LA gang members are all evil, many of them are truly just victims of their circumstances which to many people can make them seem evil, which many gang members are not (though i am sure some are just bad people).
hard to sum up the whole experience of this movie, but basically it shows the human side of things, there is a lot of reasonable arguments and perspectives definitely worth listening to and it definitely helped open my eyes to the dungeon many of those young people are born into, the seemingly endless cycle of poor circumstances in a deep ditch that is the los angeles ghettos.
