synopsis
This early movie about the fight game gives an important lesson as a young Chicano from the Los Angeles slums uses his fighting ability as a way out of poverty. Feeling the only way to get respect is to fight for it, he goes for it the only way he knows how. Good drama with sensitive treatment of the difficulties of prejudice and discrimination.
