South Central Los Angeles – gang warfare is rife, this is the way of life and it’s hard to break away from the constant battle.
Based on the cult novel Crips, South Central, a hard-hitting drama about ghetto life, hits UK DVD for the first time on 3 October 2011.
Bobby (Glenn Plummer) lives in a perpetual cycle of violence and incarceration. Recently freed from jail he returns to the only life he knows, back to the Deuces gang, where his best friend Ray Ray is now leader. He learns that his girlfriend, Carole, has given birth to their son, but is pressured by Ray Ray into committing murder and is hauled back to prison for a 10-year stretch.
This time he returns a changed man determined to save his son from the doomed life of a gang member.
Directed by Steve Anderson, South Central is a powerful tale of gang life and the struggle to escape.
