Stellar documentary about The real 'Warriors'

A interesting documentary about the 70's gangs in New York that laid the foundation for the plot to the 'Warriors (1979)' movie by Walter Hill.

You get to hear from a lot of former members of various gangs and a lot of them are surprisingly well-spoken, granted it was decades since they were active gang-members but when you think of gang-members from these days 'well-spoken' isn't exactly one of the first words to pop up.

And they provide of course a lot of insight and depth on the why's and how's of the gang lifestyle, backed up by a bit of narration from John Leguizamo.

I wouldn't have mind if it was a little longer, barely clocks in at 70 minutes but it manages to squeeze in quite a bit in that time and it never gets boring.

I could see this turning into a TV-series where they every week introduce members from the various gangs to talk about their experiences, and since there were so many of them there would definitely been material for it, and I for one, would be watching.
