Synopsis

Brown Buffalo, as he was known in the barrios of Los Angeles among street people, at the height of the riots in in the late 1960's and 70's, was the epitome of the Movimiento. He was smart, rebellious, unpredictable, occasionally high on drugs, but terrifyingly honest to himself and the world. This is the story of the rage and fury that swept LA during the gestation of the Movimiento Chicano-the Chicano Movement-and of the remarkable life of Oscar Zeta Acosta-a radical civil-rights lawyer who defended Chicano activists, won new rights for Latinos, and challenged the LA establishment.
