This epic depiction of thirty years of Chicano gang life in Los Angeles focuses on a teen named Santana who, with his friends Mundo and the Caucasian-but-acting-Hispanic J.D., form their own gang and are soon arrested for a break-in. Santana gets into trouble again and goes straight from reform school to prison, spending eighteen year there, and becoming leader of a powerful gang, both inside and outside the prison, while there. When he is finally released, he tries to make sense of the violence in his life, in a world much changed from when last he was in it
This is inetresting...
American Me was released in theaters March of 1992. This was the movie that Edward James Olmos did about the Mexican Mafia. They used real members as advisors to make sure that they were portrayed correctly on screen. Olmos decided to include a rape scene which wasn't approved by the advisors. They were offended because as on member said 'no one would ever be a leader if they were ever viewed to be in the position as someones bitch. As a result a hit was ordered on Olmos and 3 of the people involved in the movie. Within the year all but Olmos were dead.
