"With unprecedented access into the worlds of active gangs, CRIPS AND BLOODS: MADE IN AMERICA  offers a compelling, character-driven documentary narrative which chronicles the decades-long cycle of destruction and despair that defines modern gang culture. From the genesis of LA’s gang culture to the shocking, war-zone reality of daily life in South L.A., the film chronicles the rise of the Crips and Bloods, tracing the origins of their four-decades long feud. Host Manuel Criollo talks with film director Stacy Peralta and Skipp Townsend, who joined the Bloods when he was 13, stayed active until age 33 in 1998, and now does gang intervention and mentoring work in Los Angeles."
