About The Barrio Murders
In this hard-edged urban drama, when a shocking murder is committed in a Hispanic neighborhood in East Lost Angeles, the local residents are up in arms and demand action from the police. When the cops prove slow to investigate the killing, the local street gangs who prowl the area put aside their differences and set out to find the murderer themselves.
Directed by JoJo Henrickson, The Barrio Murders leans on a strong ensemble — Rubén Garfias, Nenna Quiroz, David De Leon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2001.
