MADE IN AMERICA (SEE THIS FILM) This is a frank, unflinching portrait of a segregated Shangri-La and the disenfranchised minority for whom the promise of the American Dream has crumbled away year-by-year, brick by brick, hope by hope and child by child. In setting out to examine the decades-long cycle of social deterioration and despair that has led to the rise of the violent African-American gang culture in Los Angeles, The Baron Davis Project is more than just another documentary exposé on gangs. This film is a compassionate sociological and psychological exploration and history of the African-American men and women who have been all too simply dismissed as gangbangers.
