Gabrielle D It was worth the watch. I'm not going to say that this is a story about a family in the ghetto because this family is so much more than that. They have a home that they're trying to maintain. Benji was working through abandonment issues bigger than himself and struggled to manage. He was lured into the false glitz of an escape through drugs. It was really touching to see a family come together to pull one of it's youngest members out of despair Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Audience Member This is an excellent portrait of a family in the ghetto just trying to make it, with many temptations along the way including drugs & crime. Larry B. Scott does a fantastic portrayal of "Benjie"--a good student turned junkie. He sure shows a great acting range, in a role that would be tough for anyone to play, let alone a teenager. I would love to see Scott in more roles. Of course, Cicely Tyson is wonderful as his caring mother & also Paul Winfield as his "stepfather." A special notice should also go to Helen Martin (of 227 & also Good Times fame, as Wanda). All in all, a realistic film about a family dealing with some very tough & trying issues.
