They are out of control. They have no hope. They live in a world devoid of love. The film is shot in total immersion with women gang members in LA.
Women who, because they refuse to be victims, become active agents of the violence that surrounds them.

Gangs are the reflection of a deep social malaise in the American Dream. The number of people belonging to gangs in the USA is estimated at 1 million, and between 60,000 and 80,000 of them are women.
This documentary follows four women on a daily basis, for several weeks.
They are young, dynamic and intelligent, and could have been lawyers or doctors if they had had the money to study. But they live in Inglewood, South L.A., an area that was still known as South Central L.A. during the 1992 riots - a name that is synonymous with urban decay and violence.
