80 blocks from tiffany's

i just finished watching this siiick documentary. its one of two definitive 70s south bronx street gang films, the other being 'aint gonna eat my mind.' directed by gary weiss, it mainly focuses on the two gangs 'savage nomads' and 'savage skulls.' if you know the movie 'the warriors,' this is like that, except real. it also has the same feeling as the hip hop documentary 'style wars,' but this predates that by 8 years. watch the whole doc below!

    Heck yes. I just finished Stacey Paralta's documentary on the bloods and the crips last night. It's a gang documentary weekend.
