Welcome to Durham is an eye-opening documentary that illustrates how gang violence is no longer the exclusive domain of urban cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, but today infects small cities and towns all across America.

The 180-minute film, directed by Christopher "Play" Martin (of the pioneering rap group Kid-N-Play) details the troubled, violent lives of youth in the racially and politically complex city of Durham, North Carolina. Through unprecedented access to their subjects, the film offers a frank and unblinking look into the lives of local gangs and details how the nationally known Bloods and Crips spread far beyond the city of Los Angeles.

Included in Welcome To Durham is an outstanding soundtrack, including the single "Welcome 2 Durham" by Butta Team featuring Big Daddy Kane and Little Brother, and produced by 9th Wonder. Other featured artists include Durham locals, Lil YIT, Jozeemo, Gram, and others.
