Gang Terror

This program shines the light of inquiry on the dark topic of America’s gangland subculture, where belonging means power and status—and disloyalty means death. The lethal struggle between the Crips and the Bloods for a nationwide multi-million-dollar drug trade, the plight of residents living in Chicago’s gang-infested projects, the chilling experiences of female gang members out to build their reputations, and the fight between police and gangs in Hartford for the hearts and minds of inner-city kids are spotlighted. Produced by CBS NEWS. (45 minutes)
