80 Blocks From Tiffany's - 1979 (Classic!!!!)

Yo, Everybody that has`nt seen this and for those that have like myself. I saw this when i was in my teenage years. I think i was about 15 or 16 years old when i saw it. I would like to share it with you guys. Watch closely to how certain things was rocked this includes the sneakers, the hair,the swagger,the surrounding society,what was on the walls in the cribs,the speech,lingo,the hand movements,gestures and the soul thats there!!! For some of us our society is our back ground. We move the way we move because of this and because of many other reasons. Think about it!! Listen to the tracks that they play, Puro Salsa papa!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!

80 Blocks From Tiffany's is a 1979 documentary directed by Gary Weiss. It depicted the daily life of gangs within the context of the South Bronx. It dealt primary with two African American and Puerto Rican gangs known as the "Savage Skulls" and the "Savage Nomads".

The South Bronx was known for its severe social decay during the 1970s and this idea was emphasised throughout the documentary. The documentary also illustrated many social issues such as high unemployment, prostitution and drug and alcohol abuse.
