I Am Gangster

A rebellious Indigenous Latino American male teenager, a hardcore Indigenous Latino American male gang member, and an idealistic indigenous Latino male cop risk everything to find their place in the crumbling fabric of modern America. While idealistic rookie cop David is able to keep his family safe until use-of-force incidents put him under pressure to make a fateful decision, hardcore gang member Lito steps into dangerous territory when he defies gang matriarch Tia in his hustle for wealth and power. At the same time, rebellious teenager Rio flirts with gang life until he has to deal with his own guilt over a tragic death.
