Anthony Branch Jr., known on the streets as Lil' Smurf, was one of Portland's most notorious gangsters. His life of crime and his early death are at the forefront of Tom Olsen Jr.'s documentary that looks at the history of gangs in Portland. Olsen interviews everyone from Branch's mother -- whose own struggle with drugs and prisons serves as a backstory -- to fellow gang-bangers and police, creating a complex personal portrait of a troubled young man, and a chronicle of Portland, Oregon history.
