Criminal justice and public safety in video

When Chloe gets a job working with children struggling in class, 8 year old Mario and Nini stand out. She encourages them to make a documentary and they choose gang culture as a theme. But as the bonds between them grow, the emotional stakes get higher as the boys slide towards a life of crime. Filmed over 7 years, this disturbing documentary takes a fly on the wall view of the shaping of young minds in a world where childhood no longer exists
