The latest doc from Stacey Peralta (Dogtown and Z Boys and Riding Giants) focuses on the personal stories of two of the country's most notorious street gangs, the Bloods and the Crips.Made in America explores the history of gangs in Los Angeles - the first gangs were started as "social clubs" for young black men that weren't allowed to join traditional organizations like the Boy Scouts. Peralta also examines the evolution from the Black Power movement of the 1960s and early '70s to today's self-destructive war between the Bloods and the Crips - the decades-long battle has claimed more than 15,000 lives.
Documentary Magazine interviewed Peralta about the film.
