“Shots fired, officer down”, documentaries on gang culture |

For a while now I’ve been following Ross Kemp on Gangs over on Discovery (needles to say one of the greatest channels on the digital screen). As the subject has always fascinated me I also started reading his books on the matter. Fascinating!

For that reason I have also been meaning to blog about this other documentary I recently watched, namely “Crips & Bloods: Made in America“.

Narrator Forrest Whitaker (indeed, Mr Ghostdog himself) will take you through the history of American gang culture and uncovers the true root of this phenomenon. Now I often make funny remarks about this gangsta matter, but when push comes to shove, I can not imagine growing up in such an environment. Judge for yourself and educate yourself

You can check parts one through four overhere or ask your local torrent grocer for a fresh delivery. Also google & YouTube Kemp’s program also by the way, as it will take you into a world you can hardly grasp. You can also check his episode on San Salvador overhere. Out.
