Gang Wars

There is a war waging in Little Rock, Arkansas. A town where the homicide rates are higher than in both New York and Los Angeles. Welcome to the setting of Marc Levin and Daphne Pinkerson's series of award-winning HBO documentaries "Gang War: Bangin' In Little Rock" and "Back In The Hood: Gang War 2." "Gang War: Bangin' In Little Rock" chronicles the lives of rival gang members. Allowed unprecedented access to this culture, the producers of "Gang War" offer a frank, unblinking look into the lives of local Bloods, Crips, and Folk. "Back In The Hood: Gang War 2" follows Leifel Jackson, one-time leader of the OGCs (Original Gangster Crips), as he is released from prison after almost a decade behind bars. Jackson was one of the targets in the 1993 drive-by shooting captured in the first "Gang War" documentary. Now he is trying to live straight and make a positive difference in his neighborhood, but every day is a struggle.
