GANGS OF NEW YORK meets WARRIOR.

From the seemingly bombed-out ravages of his neighborhood, wracked by drugs, poverty, and violence, he led the historic Hoe Avenue Peace Meeting, which brought an end to the violent gang epidemic that had crippled New York City during the riot-ridden era of the early 1970’s.
