Why it Crackles The critically acclaimed debut from the Hughes brothers is a mandatory companion piece to Boyz N the Hood. Description A young man attempts to escape the violence of the ghetto, but he realizes there is little real hope of actually doing so.

Caine is shocked by this sudden violent development. He sees it in terms of his own misfortune: He went out to get a beer, and now he's an accessory to murder. During the course of the movie, O-Dog will use the videotape for entertainment at parties, freeze-framing the moment of the grocer's death. Eventually dozens of people will know who killed the grocer, but nobody will be charged with the crime, because such violence is so common and the laws are such that many murders simply slip through the fingers of the police.
