FLYIN' CUT SLEEVES, completed in 1993, portrays street gang presidents in the Bronx. Their world was the streets, set against a backdrop of uprooted families, cultural alienation, drugs and violence. Neighborhood teenagers responded by organizing into street groups known to the members as "families", but labeled in the most alarming terms as violent gangs by the press. The documentation of these lives over a twenty-year period offers a remarkable perspective on life in the ghetto (spanning four generations), and the means that people devise to cope from the time that they are children to when they serve as parents and role models for a new generation.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
