WESTSIDE CHICAGO: THE REAL “290” | K-TOWN | INFAMOUS INTERSTATE EXPOSED

This documentary takes you deep into the heart of Chicago’s Westside — through K-Town, Austin, Garfield Park, and the legendary stretch of highway known as “The Real 290.”
An interstate infamous for decades of street wars, survival stories, hustlers, families, and historic Chicago culture, 290 shaped generations on the Westside.

We explore the history, the blocks, the politics, and the people who rose from one of America’s most misunderstood regions.
From the alleyways to the viaducts, from abandoned buildings to active corners, this film documents the energy, trauma, beauty, and resilience that made 290 one of the most talked-about interstates in the world.

Featuring:
– Westside OGs & community voices
Brother Dan of FFHC: fathers , families & healthy communities
– K-Town historians breaking down the “K” streets (Karlov, Keeler, Kostner, Kolin, etc.)
– Stories from Austin, Garfield Park, & Homan Square
– Real insight into why 290 became a symbol of both danger and unity
– The new generation changing the narrative and pushing the Unity Movement forward

This is raw Chicago.
This is the Westside story you’ve never seen.
