How many movies are available about Zoot Suits and the riots that broke out because of them?
Steve C. asked:
I have seen the movie Zoot Suit w/ Edward James Olmos, it was more of a play and musical. I remember watching a film in the late ’80’s to early ’90’s. It was about zoot suits. And I cannot remember the title. Help please.

“American Me” (1992) also has zoot suiters AND Olmos, who also directed the movie!
IMDb synopsis:
This epic depiction of thirty years of Chicano gang life in Los Angeles focuses on a teen named Santana who, with his friends Mundo and the Caucasian-but-acting-Hispanic J.D., form their own gang and are soon arrested for a break-in. Santana gets into trouble again and goes straight from reform school to prison, spending eighteen year there, and becoming leader of a powerful gang, both inside and outside the prison, while there. When he is finally released, he tries to make sense of the violence in his life, in a world much changed from when last he was in it.
