Once you've had the opportunity to see the documentary "Rubble Kings", you will be awed by the many truths about what gang life was really like back in the late 60's, and the early to mid-70's in New York. The sense of community, and the passion with which these groups exuded, protecting their families, friends as well as their turf, can be seen, by some, as nothing less than inspirational. And yet the question emerges; why be in a gang at all? Why the show of force, why the random violence; how is it justified? Providing us with an authentic look into the neighborhoods and the scope of what's behind the making of the film Rubble Kings, is Lloyd "Topaz" Murphy, formerly of the Ebony Dukes street gang from the South Bronx; and our guest on this episode of A Reel Point Of View. Please join film critics Larry Domkowski (Must See Movies), Karen D, (@kdmoviemaven) and me, Greg Morgan (@reelmovieguy), for this unique opportunity to speak to an original “Rubble King”.
