Emilio Rivera, Clancy Brown, Roger Guenveur Smith, Nicholas Gonzalez, Enrique Muricano

Edward James Olmos presents the feature film directorial debut of writer/director Richard Montoya. Based on his award-winning play of the same name (originally produced at the Mark Taper Forum) this is the story of two brothers nicknamed “Water” and “Power” by their hard-working father, an irrigation field man for the infamous Los Angeles Department of Water & Power. From the blue-collar housing projects of East LA to the very corridors of power where deals are made, the two -one a state senator and the other a ranking official in the LAPD- have risen beyond their modest roots…but at what cost?

Told in the classic L.A. noir style WATER & POWER explores a cautionary tale – with a Chicano twist.

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Suge Knight, Tupac Shakur, Kevin Powell, Eazy E

Death Row Records exploded on the music scene in 1993 with a “gangster rap” sound that took world by storm. Yet despite its unprecedented success with stars such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac, it quickly unraveled in a firestorm of rivalries, greed, violence and scrutiny by the government and the media as Marion “Suge” Knight’s unconventional business methods increasingly mirrored the violent, hard-edged themes of its music. This is the complete and untold story of this unique enterprise, told entirely in the words of the people who were there. It is an inside look at the American Dream gone insane. This summer’s Straight Outta Compton was developed by the producers as a follow up to Welcome to Death Row.
