  First I have to say "thank you" for taking the initiative to film this documentary. It sends a message that will move you. Communities need to be more involved, educated and take an interest in the problems this city faces as a whole.Just like their are issue their are resolution's. We have to exert more love towards one another and heal.Violence has never been the solution. I am a mother who has lost a son to violence @ 17. Our children are our most important and valued assets. What a blessing to have them.More importantly what can we offer them?? They deserved a better life. I pray for peace. Failure is no longer an option it only occurs when we don't try. For the sake of our children each other we have to bring about change.

But, before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.” And this is a fact for everyone there's only one race and thats the human race there only one crack and that the crack that ####s you up !

  Ken is right. This film could be about Bridgeport, CT, Springfield, MA, Niagara Falls, NY, or Detroit, MI. However, it is about Buffalo, and there is a clear need to for change to occur. It needs to happen at the building block level, education, family life, safety and health, and also electing leaders who are not corrupt. Also, there needs to be investments made into the city to replace the industrial waste land that exists. Buffalo and the Niagara Falls used to be a powerhouse of industry, commerce, and tourism. The whole community needs to come together to turn this around and make it a place where the population isn't leaving but staying put and making a life. Thanks for making this film. Everybody should see this!

  I gotta say this film was very moving and also sad. As americans we forget how blessed we really are and forget about our own sometimes....God bless this young men for showing truth without limits.

  As someone that lives in the Buffalo area, I would simply point out that this film could have been made about virtually any city in the U.S. The problems in Buffalo are the same ones faced everywhere. Most of our inner cities, at least in the larger cities, are a disgrace. The causes of these problems are political and personal corruption, rather than the vague, nonsensical reasons touted in this film.
