The Cool World (1964)
El adolescente Duke vive en un ghetto de Harlem donde la única manera de mostrar su hombría es comprando una pistola y ser el líder de una pandilla que regrese la tradición del bopping (peleas entre pandillas) a las calles de su barrio. The cool world es la primera película que retrata la vida de los barrios negros, alejandose de los estereotipos; un largometraje producido por el maestro de la tradición documental Frederick Wiseman.
