Tuesday: KLRU Presents Advance Screening of Crips and Bloods: Made In America [RSVP]

In two weeks, KLRU will premiere Independent Lens' stunning new documentary, Crips & Bloods: Made in America, which explores the decades-long feud between rival LA gangs the Bloods and the Crips that's left some 15,000 dead and rages on even today. The film is narrated by Forest Whitaker and directed by Stacy Peralta, the director of Dogtown and Z Boys, Riding Giants, and, interestingly, an episode of Mr. Show with Bob and David.

We're helping KLRU out with a special advance screening of the documentary tomorrow night at KLRU's Austin City Limits Studio: admission is completely free, but you'll need to RSVP here to get a seat. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the screening begins at 7 p.m., followed by a short discussion. For a preview of the film, click through the jump.

Independent Lens' Crips & Bloods: Made in America will air on Tuesday, May 14, at 9 p.m. on KLRU.
