Steve D 08/07/2023 Doesn't give a clear enough picture of the man. See more N L 03/31/2018 i was amazed by how good this movie was, its great See more 03/23/2013 I remember this film being shot way back in the mid-1970's as a young child. The gang initiation scene was shot in Ft. Greene Park in Brooklyn as I rode the bus to school. We saw the finished product and was mesmerized by the content and its message. The film resonated with many of the people we lived with in the Brooklyn projects that you can make it, if you make the choice to do so. It's a hidden gem and highly recommended!.
