Publisher's Synopsis
In 1994, the Latin Kings-the largest and most powerful street gang in New York - became the Latin King and Queen Nation. They claimed to have abandoned their criminal past and to be following in the footsteps of the Black Panthers and the Young Lords. In 1997 Big Noise films became the only media group ever given unrestricted access to the Nation for two years. Black and Gold explores a reality that is too often reduced to a stereotype or a slogan. Its unblinking lens puts you at the centre of a complex and controversial movement.
