Cle "Bone" Sloan, a longtime member of the Bloods in Los Angeles, turns the camera on his own life to ask how the city's gang wars got this bad. He traces the Crips and Bloods back to the collapse of the Black Panther Party in the late 1960s and early 1970s, arguing that federal pressure, including FBI counterintelligence efforts aimed at dismantling Panther chapters, left a political vacuum that street gangs filled with guns instead of organizing meetings. The film moves decade by decade from the 1950s through the 1990s, using interviews with gang members, former Panthers, and residents alongside footage of funerals, memorials, and the neighborhoods where the violence happened. Sloan appears on camera throughout, sometimes as narrator and sometimes as a subject himself, walking through the losses among his own friends and family. Rather than treating gang violence as a crime story alone, the film frames it as the direct aftermath of a political movement that was broken apart, leaving young men in South Central to inherit the wreckage.
