Dead Homiez brings a real life depiction of what goes on in many of the inner cities of today. A cross between Colors, Boys N tha Hood, and Menace this film interlaces an everyday story of gang life with real footage of actual bangers who live this struggle. Testimonials of actual family and friends, who have been taken, gunned down, by the hard streets of Los Angeles. This eye opening film is both a tribute to those fallen street soldiers as well as a caution to any who think the glamorized Hollywood version of gang life is appealing.

Dead homiez takes you into each side of the battling hoods, the Crips and the Blood, allowing for members of each rival gang to speak directly to the viewer with raw passion and a view that could only come from being close to the battlefront. From block to block, borough to borough, you see how a simple drive through town could spark up intense confrontation often ending in a deadly scene.

As the movie rolled its ending I became rather somber at the realization that dead homiez is a term void of prejudice. Actual funeral programs began to flip through the screen; over and over I saw the boys, men, women, children who had become victims of gang violence. And then to drive the point home, Dead Homiez gives tribute to 2 of the greatest, Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace. In an intimate setting the clip shows both of them young and vibrant sitting at a table together and throwing down a freestyle like only they could. The impact was crushing...Dead Homiez...R.I.P.
