These affecting videos by Academy Award-winning producer Donna Dewey (CHIEFS) drive home the message of the destructive force of violence by letting us hear straight from young men who have lived violent lives.

In the first two videos, African-American gang members speak openly about their lives. By interviewing the same young men eight years apart, the videos make clear the tragic long-term consequences of violence and paternal neglect.

"Homeboys: Life and Death in the Hood" Features young members of the Crips and the Bloods describing—with chilling frankness—why they joined, life in the gang, friends who have died, and the lure of dealing drugs. (26 min.)

"Homeboys: My Daddy's in Jail" Filmed eight years after "Life and Death in the Hood," "My Daddy's in Jail" presents the same men—all but one now in jail. The video gives equal time to the prisoners and their children, with both groups discussing the painful effects of growing up without a father's love. (26 min.)

"Street Fighters: Breaking the Cycle" A former drug dealer offers hope as he describes in grim detail his violent life as a criminal, the horrors of prison, and the dramatic moment when he decided to turn his life around. The Rev. Leon Kelly now devotes his time to preventing youth from following the same violent path. (16 min.)
