In December 2021, journalist Diane Marois had the unique opportunity to follow French artist Dabeull, the rising star of the international Funk scene, on tour through the "Chicano" neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
Celebrated and revered by this community of Latin American immigrants’ descendants, who have become the guardians of 80s Funk over time, Dabeull opens the doors to a very closed world, usually seen only in gangster movies and rap videos.
Immersed in their universe, Diane introduces us to their folklore and culture inherited from the low riders, but also reveals the darker side of their daily life, caught between police violence and gang violence in Los Angeles.
A breathless road movie that culminates in the "Once Upon a time in L.A." festival organised by Snoop Dogg. With the exceptional participation of legendary groups: SOS Band, Zapp and Cypress Hill.
A documentary series directed by Diane Marois.
