Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Los Angeles

Judgement is a 1992 American drama film written and directed by William Sachs. Beside many known actors, it also features appearances by actual gang members from Los Angeles. Due to its realism, Father Greg Boyle has used the film to show at-risk youths the dangers of gang life.

Production

To research the film, William Sachs spent three months riding with the LAPD gang unit at night, and going to the juvenile court during the day. He originally intended the film to be a surrealistic satire on the justice system, but due to interference by the producers, the final film is partially a satire, partially a straight drama.
