Great insight into a man's journey to change streets in to kinetic theory of heat

This story starts you really good and only get better. We see a change of characters as we go on. Snail. My greatest take from this story was that it showed the ordinary people who wanted to reform and be a homeboy with a G. To not see this movie is a crime to the movie industry and most importantly the documentation industry. The characters are as real as you can get from this otherwise plastic world we live in. The situations that are present will get any and all viewers thinking about how to change the world for the greater good, and Father G himself is an excellent role model who can be referenced for in times of need. Overall a great movie that shows the change in these gangbangers over time. I would recommend this to anyone who can take a little profanity and be able to look past the problems and see the good morals that are present in this fine piece of art.
