When your community is grappled with racism and prejudice practices at the hands of people you have to interact with frequently, tensions can rise. This was the climate of the South Central region of Los Angeles in the late 80s and early 90s. Things would only get worse for the black community when a black man is beaten by police on camera, and a teenager, Latasha Harlins, is killed by a storeowner after being falsely accused of stealing. Neither of them got justice for what happened to them, and the city of Los Angeles quickly devolved into chaos.

Take a DEEP DIVE into crime to find out how the biggest civil disturbance in the 21st century all began with the death of an innocent, 15-year-old girl.
