    80 Blocks From Tiffany's A film By Gary Weiss (1979/2011)

    Five Day Weekend

    The most disturbing aspect of this film is that it is REAL! 80 Blocks From Tiffany’s, directed by Gary Weis is a 1979 documentary about the South Bronx and its gang culture!

    Killer soundtrack of latin, disco and rap, New York circa 1979.

    DVD comes in amazing packaging - DVD plus 40 page book and hardback casing.


    Only a film-maker like Gary Weis, with strong youth and counter-culturE credentials (including his numerous productions for the original Sarurday Night Live), could penetrate the mental and physical fortesses constructed by the youth toughs who prowl the New York streets in gangs. Weis gets on the inside of these gangs and exposes their illegal activities, their techniques, their reasons, their girls and the cops who interact with them.


    INCLUDES A 40-PAGE BOOK!!!

    This is the first time in 25 years this has been available to the public!!! Not to be missed!!!
