good american movie
Ten years after Kids, Larry Clark tackles the provocative subject of teens and race in
LA, aiming his lens on an unlikely crew of Latino skate punk kids from the ghetto
neighborhood of South Central who just want to be themselves. Wassup Rockers is
based on the real life experiences of Jonathan, Kico, Eddie, Spermball, Porky, Louie
and Carlos who take an impromptu skating trip to Beverly Hills one day. When the
rockers attract the attention of some rich girls fascinated by their style, mayhem ensues
and their afternoon odyssey begins. Chased by the police and targeted by residents, it
takes all of their strength and cunning to make their way back home to the (relative)
safety of South Central.
