| | | | AlphaDogs Post Sheds New Light On Gang Culture
Using color as a storytelling tool makes a good story more interesting visually and helps to convey the emotion of the film
Gangs of one type or another have been around for hundreds of years. While most of us conjure up images of guns and violence, there is often a human element to gang culture not expected in this kind of lifestyle. In the feature-length documentary Homeboy, Director Dino Dinco takes another perspective on the topic by examining the lives of gay Latino men who are ex-gang members and the transformation these men have undergone from membership within a gang. Exclusive interviews with former gang members from around the Los Angeles area give first hand accounts of what it was like coming to terms with their sexuality, inclusive of the stereotypes of being both gay and Latino in a world that is hyper-masculine and largely heterosexual.
