Menace II Society

This is the truth. This is what’s real. In their powerful & provocative feature length directorial debut, The Hughes Brothers look at life on the streets in the shadows of the 1992 Los Angeles uprising, following a young man and his reckless best friend as they face their futures and the city’s cycle of crime and violence. Featuring electrifying performances from Tyrin Turner, Larenz Tate, and Jada Pinkett, a memorable supporting ensemble that includes luminaries such as Charles S. Dutton, Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Duke, and Glenn Plummer, and incredible Independent Spirit Award-winning cinematography by Lisa Rinzler.
