"Crips and Bloods: Maid in America"



So, I was checking out The Huffington Post the other day when I came across an article written by skateboarding icon Stacy Peralta called "The Movie they Didn't Want you to See".

The article touched on how the film is the type of movie that no company in Hollywood would fund because "they felt nobody cared!!!"; or in Stacy's words...

"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 put up the ends to fund the Documentary.

Tho I haven't seen the documentary, I am anxiously trying to find out how or where I can sit down and watch this one.
