  As I drink my coffee, eating carrotcake in my comfortable home, as I watch this film, I realized that there are other parts of the USA neighborhoods which are tragically hard to live and walk the streets. It has become a life style to carry a gun, more as a status symbol of power for young teens and men in the housing project of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. A gun is a survival weapon in the neighborhood. Very stressful to live there. I saw talent as artists painted murals on walls of young men who have been shot and immortized on walls. Their talent as an arist should be seem in another form but it is sad that it is on walls for the departed who were shot with a gun. Tears in my Heart for Timothy parents. Very tragic and sad. It is very moving to see Timothy's parents pain. it's very emotional and moving to feel their tragic lost of their son TImothy. I am so sorry that this has happen. You can watch Timothy on film before his tragic killing. He seems like a normal and nice teenager. He could be anyone's friend! I am very surprised that the officer did not get indicted. There has to be some kind of justice or compensation. Money will not bring their son back. Terrence Fisher has a talent in front of the camera. I hope he can develop his talent. This is a very sad film, about useless killings and parents suffering the lost of their sons. This film brings awareness to the world! I never known anyone shot as a youth growning up, I do not know of anyone who was killed or murdered. The only death I know is people who died of old age. That's the way it should be. I hope they continue to light candles at the end of the month so that people can know the awareness of the neighborhood and what guns can do. It is sad that the youth in that community die so tragically young. If someone does not respect me. I do not care and that's the end of it,I walk away, unfortunately it is not the case in that neighborhood, it can kill you! I have one question after watching this film. Why does America help other countries with aid when we only have to look in our backyard and help the youth of these neighborhoods. Terrence Fisher next film should be on helping the neighborhood take it's streets back for a better future for young people of the community. There is power wih a camera! Wishing for the best!
