Death to Pachuco
Prepare to enter a world of murder, riots & resistance in gritty Chicano noir in Death to Pachucofrom Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill.

Set against the backdrop of 1943 wartime Los Angeles, Death to Pachuco is a story steeped in historical urgency and cinematic grit. It reimagines the chilling aftermath of the Sleepy Lagoon murder—an event that ignited widespread racial unrest—and explores themes of cultural identity, systemic injustice, and the cost of being seen as the enemy in your own country.
