Culture
The Cowboys of Compton
"You're going to be a gangbanger or you're going to be a cowboy. You can't be both."
Weighed down by stereotypes of gang violence and corruption, the city of Compton, California, can always use a story about the good things that go on there.
Currently in production, the documentary "Fire on the Hill" tells one of those stories—about a Compton with cowboys. And stables. And a rich, complex history of black and Latino ranching culture that may be on the brink of extinction.
