00:00A lot of people from Chicago do not like Chicago, for all the violent stuff.
00:07How many people been shot in here? Raise your hand.
00:10For anybody that's been to prison, raise your hand.
00:13I've never been nowhere else, so I think it ain't no other city like ours. I don't know.
00:17I love my city.
00:21Chicago faces an epidemic of gun violence.
00:25Somebody just got popped on the corner right here.
00:28What up, what up, what up?
00:29We're trying to reduce gun violence in Chicago. That's our main objective.
00:33Doesn't matter what you did in the past. What matters is today.
00:37You know, people look at these young men as being a problem.
00:42Man, they actually the solution if you give them a chance.
00:45We are the men of our tradition right there.
00:48Every young man wants to follow. I show him love because I know how I felt when I didn't have it in my life.
00:54It's actually a lot of happy times going around here, man.
00:57But you just grow up fast in this environment. That's it. That's all.
01:00I look over my shoulder every day. We in the jungle every day when we leave here.
01:04You tend to arm yourself if you feel like the police can't keep you safe.
01:11I ain't got to tell you what that is, my brother.
01:15That was a lot of shots.
01:17Man, I ain't got to tell you what that was.
01:19Everybody know I got shot.
01:21I don't trust people.
01:23My little brother got killed.
01:25That's what really made me not sure about nothing.
01:27We haven't dealt with it effectively is what I'm saying.
01:30All that we need, we from the hood.
01:32We need what everybody else need. We are humans just like everybody else.
01:35Leave me alone, bro.
01:37We in Chicago, bro.
01:39You just think a program is going to just solve everybody's problem. It's not going to happen.
01:43You slip and you fall and this is the only thing that you got.
01:46The jail and the prison system.
01:50All of our young people deserve an opportunity to be redeemed.
02:00When you working to change yourself and somebody tries to label you, it's really tough because I know I'm in for something bigger than a jail cell.
02:06You got the power to change your story.
02:09The biggest obstacle is for you to see that.
02:12As a father, I want the best for his son.
02:15I want the best for each and every last one of these guys.
02:20Ha, ha, ha.
