Inside MS-13 America’s Most Dangerous Gang

The American dream turned into a nightmare for many Salvadoran refugees who fled civil war only to find themselves in a different kind of combat on the streets of Los Angeles. This documentary provides an unfiltered look at the rise of MS-13, a group that traded the tools of farming for the weapons of guerrilla warfare. Through exclusive interviews with active members and the specialized police units tasked with stopping them, the reality of a life defined by the number thirteen becomes clear.
