Street Life: Inside America’s Gangs

Police estimate that there are 31,000 gangs currently operating in the U.S., with more than 800,000 members—many of whom are women. In this program, ABC News correspondent Cynthia McFadden interviews female members of two Los Angeles gangs—the Drifters and Tepa 13—while correspondent John Quinones talks with King Tone, the radical leader of New York City’s notorious Latin Kings. In addition, extensive unscripted video footage shot by members of these three gangs provides a glimpse as raw as it is rare of life inside the net that is snaring young people all across the country. Some content may be objectionable. (43 minutes)
