Director Baljit Sangra's documentary takes an unflinching look at the root causes of gang violence in the South Asian community of Vancouver. To date, more than a hundred young men in the community have died in gang-related violence. Gangs are a reality of urban life, yet behind the body count and the headlines, a far different battle is being waged. Educators and parents are taking action against gang violence, seeking real solutions and fighting for change.
This work deals with mature subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised.

Study Guide
Statistics about gangs and violence are one thing, but taking an intimate look
at some of the perpetrators is quite another. How do the young boys profiled
see themselves? How would students describe Tanvir, the youngest and seemingly
most vulnerable of the boys? How does Vicky’s relationship with his school’s
principal help steer him clear? And what are the lessons to be learned from
Jagdeep’s life in gangs?
