Espeaks T @MonsterMovieReview Feb 5 This is an amazing documentary that will have a profound effect on communities all over the world! See more Shaun G @Shaun75 Feb 4 Watching this documentary gives you the true insight of the reason that the Crips were founded. To protect their own communities from the outside etc. This documentary was both inspiring and eye-opening. The storytelling is raw, real, and beautifully executed. Knowing the passion and effort behind it makes it even more special. Great watch! See more Monica S @MsMonica Feb 3 This documentary was excellent!!! One, being it provided some untold black history. Secondly, it helps me to understand where "gang banging " came from and its intended use. We were taught/trained to protect and serve our own communities!!!! Thanks Kenya for inviting me and keeping me woke!!! Don't sleep on this documentary....it is a catalyst to the many more untold black history stories. 🫶🏿 See more Ronald T @Ronnie71 Feb 3 Excellent Documentary !! A must see !!! See more Kenny W @Kenny99 Feb 3 I went into the film not knowing what to expect, but it turned out to be a fascinating and insightful watch! It offers a compelling look into the history of the Crips, tracing their origins as a derivative of the Black Panthers. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in social history, gang culture, or learning more about the roots of community movements.
