Actors: J.G. Thirlwell (composer), Eva Aridjis (producer), Eva Aridjis (writer), Eva Aridjis (director), Eva Aridjis (editor), Jesus Aceves (actor),

Plot: Jesus 'Chuy' Aceves and a dozen living members of his extended family suffer from the very rare condition of congenital hypertrichosis, meaning they were born with excessive hair on their faces and bodies. Due to their appearance, they suffer from discrimination in all areas of their lives: the children are made fun of at school and abandoned by their 'non-hairy' parents, and the adults cannot find work unless they choose to exhibit themselves as freaks in circuses. This moving and visually arresting documentary is a portrait of Chuy and his family members. It examines their day-to-day lives and their struggle to find love, acceptance and employment.

Now he's running around talking loud shit about how he wants out of La Eme. His number's up, homes.::Montoya Santana: I said I'm taking it off, ese.::J.D.: What's gonna happen is gonna happen. Don't try to stop it. You understand me? I'm asking you, carnal.::Montoya Santana: Is that where it's gotten to, ese?::J.D.: Brothers are talking about you.::Montoya Santana: What are they saying, ese?::J.D.: They're saying that you're not showing them anything.::Montoya Santana: You know, a long time ago, two best homeboys, two kids, were thrown into juvie. They were scared, and they thought they had to do something to prove themselves. And they did what they had to do. They thought they were doing it to gain respect for their people, to show the world that no one could take their class from them. No one had to take it from us, ese. Whatever we had... we gave it away. Take care of yourself, carnal.

Montoya Santana: I'm sorry to hear about Neto.::Julie: I don't know what to say to you.::Montoya Santana: Whatever, you know.::Julie: You're like two people. One is like a kid. Doesn't know how to dance, doesn't know how to make love. That's the one I cared about. But the other one, the other one I hate. The one who knows, the one who has this wrapdown, who knows how to run drugs, who kills people!::Montoya Santana: I don't have to listen to this shit, alright? If you were a man, I'd...::Julie: You'd kill me! Oh no. No, you'd fuck me in the ass, right? Right?::Montoya Santana: I guess we got nothing to say to eachother.::Julie: You know when I met you, I was impressed.

I don't do drugs, I don't even like them, but they're there, and it's a reality. And if I don't take care of that business, somebody else will.::Julie: Yeah, well, your business kills kids, man! It kills kids! Like Neto and Pablito and, and Miko, my son, who look up to you! Man, they idolize the ground you walk on!::Montoya Santana: What the fuck do you want from me? Do you want me to start over, esa? Get a job? How about become a citizen?::Julie: There's no fucking hope... for our kids, for our barrios... with people like you around.

Montoya Santana: Whatever I did to you or to mama... to make you hate me, I'm sorry.::Pedro Santana: Your mother was a beautiful woman. She made me feel proud. She was 19 years old. Raped... by sailors. After it happened, we never talked about it. Then we got married and we tried to forget. When you were born, I tried to love you. But every time I looked at you, I wondered who your real father was. I wondered which sailor's blood you carried inside of you.

Montoya Santana: You want to know something? I never been to the beach before.::Julie: For reals?::Montoya Santana: Yeah, for reals.

What happened to Pie Face I didn't like it, but it was necessary, especially right now. Take a look over there, ese. El Chucko and La Nuestra Familia is making their play to get some respect, ese. La Eme took a long time earning the respect in this place. And if we wanna keep it we gotta show some class.

Young Montoya Santana: [Mundo is being devoted into the gang] Come on, give me your hand. You know what, ese, White Fence, Maravilla, Lomita, they've been around here longer than us, you know. It's cool. We've got our own clika, strong clika.

J.D.: We appreciate you've taken a time to talk to us.::Don Antonio Scagnelli: What can I do for you?::J.D.: It's gonna be some changes in the way business is done in East L.A. From now on our people are gonna be responsible for the East L.A. exchange. All deliveries between Mexico and exchange are gonna be done through us, all collections are gonna be done by us.::Don Antonio Scagnelli: Is that what you came here for? To tell me my business?::J.D.: From now on your business in the barrio is gonna be our business too.::Montoya Santana: [Approaches to Don Scagnelli] Let me explain something. For you, for us, for anybody who does business, things happen. And you or your family, your friend can end up doing time. Someone on the line would have to deal with that fact. Now you run the distribution on the outside, we run on the inside. Our offer is this we guarantee your people no problems in the inside.::Don Antonio Scagnelli: You listen to me. I don't know who you think you are, but if anything and I mean anything happens to my son's stay, uncomfortable with over the years, you'll regret the day when you make that choice.

J.D.: If we show weakness now, homes, everybody's gonna see it not just the mayates and wops as La Nuestra Familia as well. They're just waiting to make their fucking move. This way we can do it clean. Do what Scagnelli did, form them shoot out.::Montoya Santana: To who?::J.D.: Aryan Brotherhood. They hate the mayates, mayates hate them and don't be a fucking thing. The AB gives the blacks message then we won't have to risk anything.::Montoya Santana: We're spending all over time dealing with the Italians and now the Black Gorilla Family, ese, instead of getting our people out and keeping them out.::J.D.: You know what,if we don't fight for this shit now,we're gonna lose it all now, homes.
