Underclass: Gangs And Poverty In Greensboro, NC
2007-Sep-18 by Billy
Greensboro, North Carolina indie filmmaker, Ron Harris is readying his documentary, Underclass for release. Lest those of you on the left coast think you're the only ones who suffer from street gangs, Underclass documents the Bloods, Crips and other West Coast street gangs who rule east coast streets and the poverty of the areas in which these gangs thrive.
For me this film really hits home because unlike films by California filmmakers these are the streets I drive everyday with some of the scenes filmed only blocks from my home.

Wow, the streets I drove by many a time. When megalopolises run gangs out of urban areas they head straight to the suburbds or rural areas and set up shop.
Time for DIY vigalantes??

Maybe, but hopefully not. I'm in NC now but I used to work in Compton, CA. and thankfully it's not that bad.
