Documentary Description
The film, Why We Bang, produced and directed by Orlando Myrics and
Clifford Jordan for Ghetto Logik Entertainment is an independent film
that documents the historical background of LA’s Bloods and Crips
gangs, then transitions into several interviews of current and former
members of the Bloods and Crips of Los Angeles.
Ghetto Logik, a Film Company based in South Los Angeles offers their
first urban documentary as a result of being disappointed in seeing
outsiders far too often portray the stories of ghetto residents. “We
just got tired of seeing people, not from our community making so
called “Hood movies” that did not really depict what our community was
all about, our goal is to bring real images and real stories about real
people to the big screen.”
Their first effort, Why We Bang is an in-depth look into Gang
Culture in Los Angeles that shows up-close, the life in South Los
Angeles, talking and walking with real gang members first hand. Their
approach was to show the gangs, their motivations and deadliness and to
capture the voices of the mothers who have lost children to the
violence that gangs bring. Their story, through several narratives will
inform you Why We Bang.
