Gang Boy - True Story of Anglo & Latino Gangs in LA - Video


 
   

The Film, "Gang Boy" (1954). Based on a true story on Anglo and Latino gangs in Los Angeles, California in the early 1950s. The film is also an interesting historical record of west-coast 50s gang life. Cinematically, this film is spectacular, great color and the kids in the film all do a great job in acting. It is one of the few movies that honestly depicts the conflict that often occured between minority youth groups and white youth groups. It examines the Latino American experience and the struggle to attain equality in an unjust society. Creative Commons license: Public Domain.

Of course the Oaky white gang all moved on to become productive citizens and died out shortly after this movie but the Mexican gang the Sharkey's kept the gang going right up until today. In fact, they are now the Pomona 12th street gang in the news recently for the slaying of a police officer. Typical end. White gang goes straight and grows up but Mexicans keep it going generation after generation dealing drugs, violence for hire, robbing, doing Eme's bidding. Welcome to the truth.
