Bound by Honor

Bound by Honor (a/k/a Blood in, Blood out) is a 1993 film directed by Taylor Hackford. It follows the lives of the three hispanic boys Miklo (Damien Chapa), Cruz (Jesse Borrego) and Paco (Benjamin Bratt) from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s. They start out as members of the fictional street gang Vatos Locos in east Los Angeles. As dramatic incidents occur, their lives are drastically changed, as well as their friendship. It is by some regarded as a very good (and allegedly, very realistic) prison movie, as well as illustrating gang warfare, drug use and friendship in a thrilling and original way. It is noted for its use of the Spanish-speaking areas of Los Angeles in filming, as well as filming inside the San Quentin State Prison.
