Synopsis by Mark Deming

In this hard-edged urban drama, when a shocking murder is committed in a Hispanic neighborhood in East Lost Angeles, the local residents are up in arms and demand action from the police. When the cops prove slow to investigate the killing, the local street gangs who prowl the area put aside their differences and set out to find the murderer themselves. Starring Ruben Garfias, Robert Arevalo, and Nenna Quiroz, The Barrio Murders was the first feature film from writer and director Jojo Henrickson.
