518    Originally produced by MVD Entertainment Group in 1993. 
520    Flyin' Cut Sleeves, completed in 1993, portrays street 
       gang presidents in the Bronx. The project grew out of the 
       experiences of Rita Fecher, the film's co-producer, who 
       taught in a South Bronx school in the late 1960's and 
       early 1970's, became intimately involved with the gangs, 
       their leaders, and the leaders' families and began to 
       document their lives. Their world was the streets, set 
       against a backdrop of uprooted families, cultural 
       alienation, drugs and violence. Neighborhood teenagers 
       responded by organizing into street groups known to the 
       members as "families", but labeled in the most alarming 
       terms as violent gangs by the press. In fact, the 
       "families" had a stabilizing effect, enabling the youths 
       to cope with their troubled environment. The political 
       climate at the time, movements of national liberation and 
       such organizations as the Black Panthers and Young Lords 
       Party influenced the young gang leaders to aspire to be 
       more than warriors and to become, to some degree, a 
       positive force in their communities. When Rita Fecher 
       returned after twenty years to see what had become of her 
       old friends, she found that they had stayed in the 
       community of their youth, that they were deeply committed 
       to improving conditions there and that they were engaged 
       in helping their own children survive in the hazardous 
       street environment. The documentation of these lives over 
       a twenty-year period offers a remarkable perspective on 
       life in the ghetto (spanning four generations), and the 
       means that people devise to cope from the time that they 
       are children to when they serve as parents and role models
       for a new generation.
