Movie Info

In this drama, a Chicano gang member falls in love with a beautiful, wealthy Anglo girl. She wants him to leave the gang, but the man is too deeply involved to listen. When he meets his long-estranged father, a boozy Anglo-American ne'er-do-well, the boy decides he wants a better life.

Critic Reviews for Walk Proud

All Critics (1)

It's a rarely seen film since it met with protests by the Latino community who were fed up with Hollywood depicting their youth as gangbangers.
