Colors: Bangin in South Carolina Is Set to World Premiere at the 2014 Manhattan Film Festival

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/27/2014 --COLORS: Bangin' in South Carolina details the deadliest gang feud in the history of Columbia, South Carolina. A feud inherited from Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles that has lasted over 15 years turning even the suburbs into a warzone. The movie offers never before seen footage of gangs, active gang member testimonials, and interviews with the newly formed police agencies that were made to stop them.

"COLORS" Delves into the gang epidemic that plagued South Carolina from 2000-2010 when Gang Violence was at an all-time high. During this time period South Carolina was ranked 1st in Violent Crime for 10 years in a row. In 2007, South Carolina had more murders than California and New York by population.

South Carolina Film Director and former Gangleader, Terry Davis got his first real shot when he moved to New York and landed an internship with SPIKE LEE.

The documentary primarily follows filmmaker, Terrence Davis. He was formerly the leader of the Largest Crip Gang in South Carolina history by the time he was 17 years old. After losing so many friends to Disloyalty, Death, or Prison, Terrence realized it was time for a change. In 2010, he got a college degree in mass communications at University of South Carolina(A) and in 2011 went to film graduate school in New York City.

In 2014, he returned to his hometown in South Carolina and now runs the South Carolina

Film Institute set to open upon his return from New York on July 16.
