"Crips and Bloods: Maid in America"

Posted by WNO |



I came across a very interesting article written by Stacy Peralta called "The Movie they Didn't Want you to See" on the Huffington Post. It mentioned how this is a movie that no company in Hollywood would fund because they felt nobody cared!!! However he had to explain it in another light... He goes on to say

"If affluent white teenagers in Beverly Hills were forming neighborhood gangs, arming themselves with automatic assault rifles and killing other affluent white teenagers who were also living in upscale neighborhoods and were also arming themselves with AK 47s and shooting to kill, what would the response of our society be? Would society respond or would society ignore it? Would our government respond, if so, how would our government respond?"

This caught the attention of Baron Davis (NBA point guard for the LA Clippers and Silicon Valley businessman named Steve Luczo, who later funded the Documentary! I'll have to go find this in a theater or on the web somewhere, but it definitely looks like it will be a great eye-opener!!
