Stacy Peralta的黑帮影片

著名滑板导演Stacy Peralta拍摄的新片《Made In America》即将在盐湖城的圣丹斯电影节首映，Stacy是冲浪和滑板界的传奇人物，世界上最早的职业滑手之一，Powell-Peralta滑板公司的创始人之一。

这次的新片没有选择极限运动的相关题材，而是拍摄了一部记录洛杉矶南部（也是美国最危险的地区之一）最危险的两个黑帮——Crips和Bloods之间的争斗。Stacy Peralta深入到洛杉矶最危险的街区，取得本地“头领”的批准，采访当事人和黑帮的头领；并且从60年代全黑人黑帮说起，一直讲到社区黑帮的现状。他希望这部影片能够带领人们探究40年来由青少年组成的黑帮背后的故事，从而让大众不再无视这一社会顽疾。

Stacy Peralta returns to Sundance with Made in America, an insightful and moving documentary inspired by first hand witness of the devastating gang violence that has plagued Southern Los Angeles for decades. Peralta made a name for himself in the ‘70s as a pioneer of professional skateboarding and found a new calling in the late ‘90s when he branched into directing and producing. His award winning documentaries Dogtown and Z-Boys (which was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize and won the Audience and Directing Awards at the 2001 Sundance Festival) and Riding Giants are examinations of the origins and evolution of skateboarding and surf culture. He also wrote Lords of Dogtown, a fictionalized retelling of the members of the Zephyr professional skateboarding team. In Made in America Peralta revisits the subculture of LA, but this time lends his considerable skill at progression study to a topic with a bit more social imperative.
