crips & bloods: made in america

i was sifting through teh internets last night and came across a very interesting looking documentary. now, i love documentaries, or at least the idea of them. they don't all deliver. anyway, i saw something about this documentary so i had to go and watch the trailer. it's done by stacy peralta, of powell peralta skateboard fame. he also did the documentaries 'lords of dogtown' and 'riding giants,' so he's done good work in the genre already. this looks promising:



you can find some more info on the film @ the website and watch other clips, like this one featuring baron davis, who produced the film, snoop and lil wayne:



the film will obviously have a very limited release, as most documentaries do. here are some dates, if you want to travel or live in that city
