Watch Boulevard Nights

Boulevard Nights is a raw and rare look at East Los Angeles' violent and unrelenting street gangs. Filmed directly on location in the "barrio," the narrative focuses on one impressionable Chicano youth. Try as he might to flee the harmful and deadly influence of gang life, he appears to be predestined for a lonely and violent life –and death– on the vicious streets. The dialogue exchanges and rumble sequences are presented with disturbing realism.
