Bound by Honor

ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThriller180 min

In East Los Angeles, three Chicano relatives come of age inside the pull of a street gang, bound as much by family as by the rules of the neighborhood. Spanning 1972 to 1984, the story follows how one violent turning point sends their lives in different directions—into prison, deeper into gang warfare, and toward paths that test who they can trust. As loyalties harden and old bonds strain, each man is forced to choose between survival, pride, and the people he grew up with. Damian Chapa and Jesse Borrego are part of a sprawling story about family ties that hold even as the streets and the system push them apart.
