Set in the heart of a rapidly gentrifying west Los Angeles neighborhood still reeling from decades of guns and gang violence across the four corners near Venice, a working-class single mom desperately tries to wean her 17-year-old son Freddy away from a veteran gangster who has become a father fig-ure to him. Die Like a Man explores the rites of passage and codes of masculinity that are at the fore-front of our current era's zeitgeist, as well as the acceleration of gentrification and its effect on com-munities in LA today.
