Answer

"Zoot Suit" was a ground-breaking 1981 film set in the WWII era, centered around a young Mexican-American and his friends in Los Angeles. The film delves into themes of cultural identity, social injustice, and the notorious Sleepy Lagoon Murder trial, which sparked racial tensions and the Zoot Suit Riots.
