I'm 41, I used to be in a gang in Phoenix in the 90's. Watching this and looking back at my days in that life, one thing continues to stand out: What attracts kids to gangs is the instinctive understanding of strength in numbers. You're no longer just an individual, you're part of a family, some are disfunctional and some function well together. And when you're young you're subconsciously trying to forge tight relationships with your friends (at least I was) so you'd be solid for the long haul. Obviously things don't always go as planned.. people fall in love, move away, have a change of heart, end up dead or caught in the correctional system. Gangs become a substitute for your actual family but there's no guarantee that the family (gang) you vow loyalty to will be loyal in return. Such is life.

May I quote you, sir? Many Organizations in these United States are attempting to encourage the Black and Brown Community in our USA Region to look "inwards", at (we) ourselves, and as a Community of Persons with shared spaces/environments i.e. neighborhoods, shared interest(s) (a long life, right?), shared circumstances (many of "we" are parents of children we truly do not want to be burying, rather than the other way around), and in reality a shared Struggle (America, in some ways, does seem to 'eat her young'). Personally, I think we Need more Love in our Approach(es). More Love, and better, improved, Understanding of what factors in young children's lives is conducive to those vulnerable youths arriving at identifying with gang identity/gang culture. I think you hit the nail on its head with: "belonging, sense of security/safety in numbers, and protection". Please advise. Thank you.

Incredible... brings me back to the 70s, although I was very younf back then. Every time I watch one of these videos, I think of an old friend named Delma, I thought she lived in Sunset Park, but I think she told me she moved to Coney Island, we were in our senior year together in FHHS [class of 83 !!] and while we talked, we knew some of the same writers [grafitti...] for some reason I never had the courage to ask her out. Last time I saw Delma was in Bay Ridge, 77th and 3rd, she was talking to maybe Eddie ?? who had a blue Nova at the time, Delma was decked out in a dungarees Jacket and mini skrt, no shoes she was barefoot in the street.. man, Delama was hard !! but I was on the 3rd ave bus, and missed her............. and to this day Delma denies that was her, and maybe she's right because today she is Iris living down south. This film was incredible, it just gets better and better and deeper as it goes on, especially past the 50 min mark. A lot of people fail to realize the positive aspects the gangs had on their communities back in the day, how they were instrumental and getting programs set up for the school kids, like breakfast and lunch, among other things.... funny, you never see stuff liek this in the good neighborhoods. Makes you wonder, don't it... Thank you so much for posting this film.

I wouldn't call the attire of New York 70"s street gangs fashion but more of a uniform. The Street Gangs of that era looked to the more well known Motor Cycle Gangs for examples of Structure and Public Image, thus the denim jackets with the Top Rocker, Middle Logo, Bottom Rocker layout, also the structure of hierarchy that mimics the military was also copied from Biker Gangs. Early Rap Music fashion was influenced by NY Street Gangs as well as late 70's glam rock. The early professional rap music performers were faced with the decision of what should the costume / wardrobe of these new performers consist of thus in the beginning you see rappers (ex. Sugar Hill Gang) wearing normal street clothes then a few years latter you start to see the leather pants and ripped shirts (ex. Furious Five, Kurtis Blow) as those artist were emulating what was seen in rock shows. It was Russell Simmons who insisted Run (his brother) and partner DMC dress like the groups newest addition DJ Jam Master Jay, who was a veteran of NYC street life and wore the flashy clothing that street hustlers of that era commonly wore. With the wild success of Run - DMC from that point on the trend in rap music has been to copy the inner city street fashion trends.

This was a very good documentary back in the days brought me back a lot of memories I was very scared when I was small I was like 9 8 or 9 and 10 years old when he's games were out there I was bullied in school but hang in there I got friendly with a lot of gang members they were tough times for Puerto Ricans back then but the city used to help out a lot and Welfare and stuff like that giving out free lunches and breakfast in the morning summer some areas in the Bronx now you don't see that that much everybody's taking advantage of the system more kids back then we used to play in the streets we will more in good health most Puerto Ricans now have good jobs and living a good life and they are more educated and have high position jobs in the city things will get better thanks for the good memories my name is Hector known as p u t i and I approve this message

My dad grew in the Bronx and actually knew a few guys in the Savage skulls. It’s interesting to watch documentaries about the gangs of NYC in the 70’s.

Ms. Padilla is correct. Ask questions. What is going on in their lives. In their community. Kids are kids. Chaos creates more chaos. Don't expect these kids to do right. But assume they WANT to do right 💕💕💕

This was way better than Rubble Kings. I liked how this doc, as compared to Rubble Kings, had more about what the more political gangs members were doing later in life to positively change their enviroment. I wish more people would wake up to who the real oppressors are and their shady distracting ways and that to make a difference you don't need to be a Jordan or a Clinton, you can effect change in your own community in many different ways, and not just the conventional medias portral of what is esentially a "money'd hero". Maybe someone should do a doc as to what these people are up to in their comunities in another 10-20 years?

It seems that with people that live like this, a little compassion goes a long way (Due to the preceding absence thereof). So with that being said, regardless of the efforts of things like "community outreach", there must be something much stronger pulling them in the opposite direction.

you can check the Warriors, the outsiders or the wanderers. But Warriors by far are the more realistic with more truth to it.
