- Summary:
- This stunning photographic document of gang life reaches far beyond surface reportage to go to the heart of a feared and mythologized cultural phenomenon. Not just about gangs, "East Side Stories" is about families and communities, life and death, fatalism, and the transformation of the home and the 'hood from a place of nurturing to one of violence.
