80 Blocks from Tiffany's is a 1979 documentary directed by Gary Weis. It depicts the lives of gang members living in the South Bronx.
The film captures the South Bronx during an era that was rarely captured on film. It also captures New York City just before the advent of hip hop, the devastating effects of the crack epidemic and before the proliferation of gang gun violence.
Originally filmed for NBC, the film never made it to air and was instead released to VHS as an educational video. Over time the film gained a cult following and was reissued on DVD in 2010.
