Street gangs. A secret history
Description
HISTORY's award-winning original specials explore the people, places, and events that have shaped who we are today. Whether offering in-depth perspective on ancient cultures, exploring geological wonders, or analyzing history's greatest military strategies, HISTORY specials provide an informative and entertaining look into the great stories of the world around us. For nearly 400 years, street gangs have bullied their way across the American landscape. Fueled by immigration and the desire to live the American dream, street gangs have evolved from groups of petty criminals to ruthless multi-million-dollar drug cartels. We'll see how the need for a sense of belonging has driven many into the open arms of gangs.
