First ,I would like to say that I have not watched this film, yet. I was privileged to know Mr. Raymond Santana in our teens. I also had an acquaintance with Mr. Salaam's younger brother in Isaac Newton Junior High School. When this happened, I never felt in my heart that it was true, or even possible from what I knew of these young men. I was shocked to hear of this film from my french professor in my college English class. I said to myself that this is so far from what these outside people live like, so they don't really understand the injustices afflicted upon minority men in the ghetto. I've always hated that this happened to my friend, but sadly I know it will still happen to many more young minority men. To all of my brothers: Please Be Careful! Educate Yourselves! Become Grandfathers :)
