Abstract
Nobody is safe in Salinas, California, where two Latino gangs, Nuestra Familia and the Mexican Mafia, are at war. Through exclusive interviews with NF members and law enforcement personnel, this program describes Nuestra Familia’s formation by convicts inside the prisons of northern California, its military-like structure, its dismaying power throughout the region and the U.S., and Operation Black Widow, a controversial joint task force between the Salinas Police Department and the FBI designed to demolish this notorious crime machine. The multigenerational story of one family’s involvement with the NF - a story of total commitment turned to disillusionment and deep regret - is interwoven. Filmed by the Center for Investigative Reporting. Bonus material includes interviews with inmates at Pelican Bay State Prison, Salinas Chief of Police Daniel Ortega, gang-prevention activist Antonio Avalos, and the filmmakers themselves. Part 1 of 2.
