This 1979 documentary film focuses on gangs such as the savage skulls & nomads who occupied areas of the South Bronx. Perhaps even more compelling is considering that the backdrop and social conditions in this film are a 'far cry' from the lifestyle being promoted through disco music and film. Perhaps this answers questions to why many people took preference over the funk records which arguably pathed the way for Hip Hop culture.

@pablojason01 You won't understand what is meant by innocent so I won't elaborate for you.

@pablojason01 you have a point fellow Jason

@DIYcomedy123 Innocent street gangs is a contradiction in terms. This is comment from below: "the other guy(from the savage nomads) followed the girls took them into a building raped them and murdered them" This is innocence?

@TheJasonDR You're totally offbase. Yeah real fun, beating people into comas with lead pipes! These guys were involved in every illegal activity in the book including murder, rape, and extortion! I was a child in NY then, and trust me, it was a very scary place. The only real difference is that they didn't get the access to the type of military weaponry that gangs got during the crack time. Because the gangs were more under the thumb of the mafia whereas with crack there was more independence.

@DIYcomedy123 I was a child in nyc during the time of this video and the gangs sent chills down my spine. How is seeing dynamite on the street innocent? I was innocent and they scared me to death because they were living opposite of what I was living and I felt it in my core. Stop with all this 'good old days' stuff. Were talking about post Vietnam, race riots, public assassinations USA. Have you seen pictures of the South Bronx in the 70's? It looked bombed out. Be real.

Pre-crack... there was still some semblance of ethics on the street.
