Lowrider Legacy
STREAMING SEPT. 18
Lowriding is about more than just cars. It’s about tradition, family, art and celebrating Chicano culture. For decades in California, cities and towns have passed their own cruising and lowrider bans, leading to abuse and discrimination against the Mexican American community.
That all changed in January 2024 when a state law prohibiting the bans went into effect.
Now, lowriders show off their works of art with pride. Lowriders were created as a means of resistance, as drivers modified cars post-WWII. For many families, lowriders mean lasting memories and a way to connect.
KCRA 3 followed the years-long efforts of Californians fighting for acceptance on a larger scale. See the history of lowriders from the perspective of the people who drive, build, and maintain these mobile works of art in the documentary above.
