This documentary of the South Bronx street gangs that the classic film The Warriors are based on. Really it's a historical look at the decay that gave rise to the 70s street gangs and later to hip hop. Pretty great film stylistically and mentally stimulating but unfortunately the main subject of film becomes the gang/band/political activist group Ghetto Brothers, and it becomes sort of a tearjerky civil rights story. But overall thoroughly entertaining and draws a timeline that connects weirdo gang culture to original hip hop.
