Edward J. Olmos made his directorial bow with the powerhouse crime saga American Me. Olmos stars as street-gang leader Santana, who during his 18 years in Folsom Prison rules over all the drug-and-murder activities behind bars. Upon his release, Santana goes back to his old neighborhood, intending to lead a peaceful, crime-free life. But his old gang buddies force him back into his old habits. The omniprescene of the “Mexican Mafia” in the southwest is sufficient to make this film a daunting, demoralizing experience. Upon its release, American Me received a lot of press play due to the fact that Olmos shot his Folsom sequences on location, using actual prisoners as extras and bit players., This tale of gang life in East Los Angeles follows buddies from juvenile hall to Folsom prison. Its main focus is Santana, who leads a powerful gang in prison and later struggles to lead a peaceful, lawful life upon being released., An epic and compelling drama from actor/director Edward James Olmos. The film follows three generations of a Hispanic American family, from the 1943 Pachuco Los Angelean riots to the turmoil of the mid-1970s. Olmos himself plays Santana, a crime lord who rules over the LA underworld from within his cell in Folsom State Prison, Sacramento. The film charts the rise of the so-called Mexican Mafia in a brutal and disturbing fashion, but retains the message that gang warfare, for whatever reason, can never be justified.
