Vigilante: The Incredible True Story of Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels

In the late 1970s, Curtis Sliwa formed crime-fighting posse the Guardian Angels to rescue New York City, then besieged by outlaws, from precipitous decline. His remarkable story is told in this documentary by director David Wexler, who combines amateur video and television clips, stills and interviews with Sliwa himself to vividly document the Angels, in their familiar T-shirts and red berets, as they deployed to the city's ravaged streets and transit systems.
