Delving deep into the complex history of gang culture in Los Angeles, Bone, a member of the Athens Park Bloods, traces his roots all the way back to the 1950s when the first black gangs formed to protect themselves, into the political awakening of the '60s, through the tumultuous aftermath of the civil rights movement, and finally into the modern era of Bloods and Crips. "Bastards of the Party" paints a vivid picture of the interconnectedness between gang violence, systemic racism, and government policies, exposing the devastating impact all of these forces had on communities of color. Through its thought-provoking narrative, powerful imagery, and unparalleled access to modern gangs, "Bastards of the Party" leaves a lasting impression and profound impact, challenging audiences to confront the deep-rooted issues of inequality and injustice that plague society.
