The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

The film follows several current and former members of the Bloods and Crips of Los Angeles through interviews. The objective of the film is stated by director Clifford Jordan as, "We just got tired of seeing people, not from our community making so called 'Hood movies' that did not really depict what our community was all about, our goal is to bring real images and real stories about real people to the big screen."
