Gary Weis, best known for his short films on SNL and for directing "The Rutles", shot this documentary in 1979, going to the South Bronx and getting some very candid interviews with members of the street gangs The Savage Nomads and The Savage Skulls. It's a pretty vivid portrait of NYC at the peek of its late-70's decay. At barely over an hour in length, it's still a bit too long since there's not much to say outside noting how little hope for a future these kids have.
