This 90s independent classic by Allison Anders was one of the first films to explore the experiences of women within gang culture. The film is a collaboration between some of the young people of the Echo Park neighbourhood and the director, with the majority of the cast being selected to act in the film with no prior experience, lending their personal stories and experiences to the film and placing it at its forefront.
