The DVD cover got my attention so I rent it at Blockbuster. This was a very good and interesting film. I can relate to Ceasar's pain and confusion as he starts to lose his friends one by one to gang violence. I grew up on the same streets where this film was made and I was really happy to see my neighborhood. The message I got from this film was HOPE. There is light after the tunnel for those who want to get out of a gang. Being in a gang doesn't take you nowhere but to an early death. The movie made an impact on me and I hope they can show it at schools as an educational tool. I was surprised to learn in the commentary that the director was raised in Little Village. This is very inspiring to see someone from the neighborhood working in Hollywood. Keep up the good work and don't forget us little people from your hood.
