Criminals Gone Wild is a documentary film directed and produced by Ousala "FD" Aleem through his Brooklyn-based media studio FD Entertainment. The film was originally released and distributed by Aleem in November 2007. The film was later distributed Nationally through MVD.
The film chronicled the lives of several alleged criminals on rampages of crime sprees of robberies, assaults, carjacks and murders. The film received huge controversy in the news media regarding the authenticity of the crimes filmed in the movie.
Aleem became the target of major media scrutiny due to the fact that he failed to report any of the crimes committed in the film. "No person has a duty to report a crime happening. & You can watch a person being pushed into a lake and drowning and you don't have to go in after them," said Ryan Blanch, a criminal defense attorney in New York with the Blanch Law Firm PC.
