RUBBLE KINGS TRAILER from shan nicholson on Vimeo.
From 1968 to 1975, gangs ruled New York City.  Beyond the idealistic hopes of the civil rights
movement lay a unfocused rage.  Neither law enforcement nor social agency could end
the escalating bloodshed.  Peace came only through the most unlikely and courageous of events that would change the world for generations to come by giving birth to hip-hop culture. Rubble Kings, the most comprehensive documentation of life during this era of gang rule to date, tells the story of how a few extraordinary, forgotten people did the impossible, and how their actions impacted the world over.
