Here’s a clip from Gangsta City, an upcoming documentary (read: street DVD) about Chicago’s notorious Cabrini-Green housing projects.

For the last 30+ years Cabrini-Green has stood tall as the national symbol for "ghetto" America. It is considered the pinnacle of all housing projects, and was once widely considered the most dangerous place in all of America. For the first time ever, Cabrini-Green will be seen from the inside looking out. This is Cabrini-Green’s story, as told by the people that lived there.

You may recognize Cabrini-Green as the projects that the Evans family lived in on Good Times and as the setting for the movie Candyman. The entire complex is in the process of being torn down and rebuilt.
