A film that goes deep inside California’s Latino gangs to reveal their devastating effect on families – and the controversial war to stop their spread.

For more than 3 years, reporters working with the Center for Investigative Reporting spent their days in California's farming communities, courts and prisons to film this documentary.

They produced radio programs, photo essays and articles for major newspapers and magazines. Explore the links above to experience the Nuestra Familia, Our Family project.
