While working on his documentary, Christopher Rufo realized that the ideology of prison gangs that led to racial segregation in prisons holds similarities to the critical race theory (CRT) being promoted in society.
Rufo, a writer, filmmaker, and researcher, noticed that although the phenomenon of prison gangs and the development of CRT are different and disparate, by comparing the two and analyzing the outcome of gang activities in the California prison system, he would be able to draw conclusions as to where critical race theory could lead society.
Rufo started exploring prison culture, gang culture, and street culture for a documentary he directed for PBS called “America Lost,” which looked at three of America’s poorest cities—including Stockton, California—a city with a highly diverse racial makeup comprised of white, black, Latino, and Asian populations.
