from Arroe Collins Pod-Crashing · host Arroe Collins

Pod Crashing Episode 199 With Alex And Nigel From More Than A Movie American Me When Edward James Olmos set out on his directorial debut, American Me, he wanted to accomplish two things: to represent Chicano culture on the big screen and to save part of his community from gang violence. But when people were allegedly murdered because of their participation in the film and Olmos himself was allegedly extorted by the real-life Mexican Mafia, it exposed the unintended risks of trying to represent someone with an agenda in mind, even a well-meaning one. Alex Fumero and producer Nigel Duara delve into the true story of American Me and the legacy the controversial film left behind.
