In the city of San Salvador, members of two rival gangs-the Mara Salvatrucha and the Mara 18-fight an inhumane and bloody war. This Crazy Life is a direct and candid portrayal of everyday life amongst the members of these juvenile gangs, and of the endlessspiral of violence and brutality that plagues Central America today.
