Blackfilm.com has been provided with an exclusive clip from Rubble Kings, which will open on June 19, 2015 in New York (AMC EMPIRE 25), Los Angeles (AMC BURBANK 8) and CHICAGO (AMC COUNTRY CLUB HILLS 16) with a wider national release to follow.
From 1968 to 1975, gangs ruled New York City. Beyond the idealistic hopes of the civil rights movement lay a unfocused rage. Neither law enforcement nor social agency could end the escalating bloodshed. Peace came only through the most unlikely and courageous of events that would change the world for generations to come by giving birth to hip-hop culture.
Directed by Shan Nicholson and narrated by John Leguizamo, RUBBLE KINGS chronicles life during this era of gang rule, and tells the story of how a few extraordinary, forgotten people did the impossible, and how their actions impacted New York City and the world over.
