Overview

General Ahmed has started an inner-city People's Army to try and relieve the misery of the citizens of Watts. When the locals are put under increasing pressure by Mafia thugs, Ahmed's second-in-command Colonel Kojah asks for permission to start a protection squad to take more direct action. Ahmed fears this protection squad will just turn into a vigilante mob, and his prediction soon proves correct. Will Ahmed be able to wrest control back from the power-mad Kojah, or will he be the mob's next victim?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A scrappy blaxploitation crime film that builds a simmering conflict between an idealistic community leader and his lieutenant's descent into authoritarian brutality, delivered with the raw energy and exploitation aesthetics of mid-70s grindhouse cinema.
