Rep Yo Set: The Movie takes viewers on a behind the scenes journey looking at the concept, history and culture of twenty seven of the most active gang neighborhoods in Los Angeles as they come together to record the historic Rep Yo Set Album. This raw, powerful, and candid documentary brings to life the brutalizing and exhilarating experience of gang life through the voices and images of the gang members as they express themselves through their music (and lyrics). Listen to real life stories about their gang's history, the crime, the shootings, and the numerous homicides. For five months the Rep Yo Set producers and their courageous crew followed these men from the luxury of being recording artists produced by some of the top producers in rap music today back to the reality of the streets that they must return to after each session. Unlike many projects of this kind shot by outsiders looking in, this will be the first documentary produced by people whose life experiences often mirror some of the subjects themselves. Show more
