Synopsis: Reveals a groundbreaking dance phenomenon that's exploding on the streets of South Central, Los Angeles.

The aggressive and visually stunning dance modernizes moves indigenous to African tribal rituals and features mind-blowing, athletic movement sped up to impossible speeds. We meet Tommy Johnson (Tommy the Clown), who first created the style as a response to the 1992 Rodney King riots and named it Clowning, as well as the kids who developed the movement into what they now call Krumping. The kids use dance as an alternative to gangs and hustling: they form their own troupe and paint their faces like warriors, meeting to outperform rival gangs of dancers or just to hone their skills.

There goes the game! Game over!

Hey, y'all, get ready.

Let's go. Let's line up.

If they beat us,

I'm gonna retire.

What would you do?

Just say it happened.

If they beat me?

Hey, I'll probably be

workin' at Vons with Larry.

Let's get ready to rumble!

Get ready to make some noise!

I cannot believe!

This is ludicrous.

It's all good.

I ain't never got

to practice for nothin'.

I came out there,

danced off my head...

and came up with

a beautiful show, baby.

A beautiful show.

They cheated my cousin.

They cheated all y'all.

That's some bullshit.

That was weak.

All them niggas is weak!

All y'all battle! All y'all!

Battle! Right! Battle!

You all did not win

all of the battles.

I'm gonna tell you that.

You didn't win 'em all...

but you got cheated out

of about 3.

Told y'all we were gonna do it!

That wasn't no BattleZone.

That was a concert for Larry.

And he won.

We won! We won!

We won!

Thank you, Jesus!

How you doin'?

Larry!

He probably worked

his ass off...

for about 3 weeks,

You know what I'm saying?

I'm real with this.

I'm original.

Everything I do is pure.

I don't have to practice it.

I don't have to want it.

I already got it.

You know what I'm sayin'?

And it's done.

I ain't got nothin' to say.

I'm done.

Feel good to wear this, baby.

Be all I am the way I am

'Cause I'm...

Tell us... Tell us what happened.

Somebody done broke into his...

Everything OK?

They just broke...

broke in my house.

While we was on here

at the BattleZone...

they broke in my house.

They thrashed everything.

You try and work hard

for these people...

but people

are always doin' stuff.

Doin' stuff,

and they doin' this stuff.

It's hard, man!

They can't do that.

They can't do that.

Stand over here, sir.

While I was

winnin' the BattleZone...

I was losing

BattleZone over here.

They came in the house...

broke in the house,

and took everything.

The front door is over there?

No, the front door

and this door.

This is the sliding door...

and there's a door through

that washroom over there.

OK. I'm gonna check this out.

You just have to know that...

because you're doing

something right...

this is happening.

OK? These things happen...

only when people do

something positive. OK?

And, you know,

you're trying to do...

something very good

for the children...

for the kids, and this is

unfortunate, but it is...

Hey, baby.

Hi, daddy.

How you doin'?

Fine.

Yeah, I feel you.

Daddy.

Th... there.

There you go, daddy.

Something's missing.

My DVD player gone.

Did you dust the front door?

Because that wouldn't...

We dust the whole house, sir.

We dust the whole house.

Don't trip. Forget this...

'cause we fi'n

to get a mansion.

We're gonna have a mansion

with everything we want in it.

Amen.

They can trash it...

'cause we movin'

to bigger and better things.

Everything happens

for a reason...

and that lets you know

we have to leave.

Right.

We have to get out of here.

That's all that is.

They heard you weren't

movin' fast enough.

They was tryin' to help you.

Everything happens for a reason.

That's how you

got to look at it.

I remember that.

We fi'n to go in a mansion.

We're gonna have a 20-story.

Let's go!

Clownin' is cool,

but the hard part...

is the life outside of clownin'.

This is Inglewood.

So this is Inglewood.

Inglewood is set up

to be a deadly place...

just like South Central.

South Central is a deadly place.

A couple of weeks ago,

we seen a guy get shot.

First time I seen something

like that in my life.

We're drivin'.

I'm in the truck.

I'm drivin' the truck.

Tommy's drivin' the 5.0.

You know, he stops.

He bent over

to pick up somethin'...

and soon as he leans back up,

we hear a shot.

Man, laid out

on the corner right there.

I ain't never seen

nothin' like that.

Head blown all off.

All over the corner.

Drivin' down the street

from a school.

We just finished

doing this preschool.

All the kids, everybody saw it.

It was just... too dramatic.

Ain't nothin' for them

to do but to be bad.

I mean, if you

grew up around people...

that got a kick

out of hurtin' people...

or got a kick out

of robbin' people...

and that's all

around you 24/7 all day...

that means eventually...

you gonna start catching

a feel for it.

It's so much violence

going on...

and, I mean, you know,

shootings, killings, I mean...

you know, the kids just

need somethin' positive.

The way life is out here...

it's hard for you

to walk down a street...

and not know that you're

not gonna get shot today.

You don't even have to be

part of a gang or whatever.

You could just be that person

walking to the store.

Just walking

out in the street...

you could get shot

for no reason.

Just for looking like somebody,

you get shot.

There she goes. There she goes!

Family members of

say she simply

left home last night...

to walk to the store

to buy a soda...

when she was gunned down.

Her 13-year-old friend

who was walking with her...

Demario Moore,

was also shot dead.

Authorities say

for no apparent reason...

known gang members

targeted the kids...

and killed them as they

walked along 54th street...

between Budlong and

Normandie Avenues in south L.A.

She was one of those victims...

an innocent victim,

that go to practice...

that do everything

that you supposed to do...

and was at the wrong place

at the wrong time...

to say hi to somebody

across the light...

when the store is right there.

From crazy people

runnin' the block...

shootin' out of a car, and

don't know who they shootin'.

They shoot old people,

young people, babies.

They didn't care.

They came around the block

just shootin' people.

And she happened to be...

in the wrong place

at the wrong time.

'Cause she had so much to do.

She loved dancin'.

She loved drill team.

She loved cheerleading.

She loved it all.

His father, I think,

was a old gang member, an O.G.

And his father's enemies

was lookin' for somebody...

and they shot at them.

Both of them got killed.

See, that just

make me feel like...

I don't wanna be

in this place no more.

But you just can't leave.

This is my home.

Amazing grace

How sweet

The sound

That saved

A wretch

Like me

I once

Was lost

But now

I'm found

I was blind

But now

I:

See

Austin Harris is my name.

Selling caskets is my game.

I've been neighbors

to the clowns about 9 months...

and we all get together
