Boyz n the Hood 1991 Directed by John Singleton

Once upon a time in South Central L.A... It ain't no fairy tale.

In the middle of the Los Angeles ghetto, drugs, robberies and shootings dominate everyday life. During these times, Furious tries to raise his son Tre to be a decent person. Tre's friends, on the other hand, have little regard for the law and drag the entire neighborhood into a street war...
