Uno sguardo alle lotte fra gang americane della periferia di Los Angeles.
CONSIGLIATO N.D.
|
Con uno sguardo in prima persona rivolto alle lotte fra le due famose gang dei Crips e dei Bloods, il film esamina le condizioni che hanno condotto a decenni di devastante violenza fra gruppi di afro-americani cresciuti nella periferia sud di Los Angeles.
If the historical record (and common sense) did not insist otherwise, you might walk away from the documentary “Crips and Bloods: Made in America” thinking that the story of two of the most notoriously violent gangs in Los Angeles and the story of that city’s nongangbanging African-American population are one and the same. That they are not identical goes without saying.
The image of a glittering downtown Los Angeles skyline turned upside down, which opens Stacy Peralta's sobering "Crips and Bloods: Made in America," is both striking and unnerving. With that image, Peralta telegraphs a theme that will resonate in chilling ways throughout his new documentary -- that geography matters and that we are heading into a world that's been upended.
