there. was only four where i go to motivate characters and. another wayne larry is from bayview he was lucky he got out alive and he's twenty five years old. and visible from the skyscrapers of san francisco's financial district bayview is a deadly gas or most of the young people here won't live over twenty five behind the well painted for sides of the public housing projects lights dire poverty here most of the residents are african-americans they live off public kind outs on the high end dealings and some of crying it's deceivingly peaceful atmosphere can change at any moment. but. was. one dad in a baby shoes and not a single month goes by without fatalities rival gangs have been caught up in a senseless ongoing war for many years.

these scenes were filmed by a local boy in the exchanges going for a camera. devin melvin a sixteen year old when he was twelve he carried a gun. i think. we were going we were going. from the route of people i don't vent to a live thing a lot i swear so much for my neighborhood so what a point where i'm like family i want to do right. i lost two friends names a whale and why bill. today devon is looking for a way out of the ghetto he doesn't want to live where gun low and senseless fighting is the law of the land when you go through way back i painted with

a that i was i went to the ball an ace i've been on is this. i i'm in it i'm in for . just a few miles from here in downtown san francisco again to veterans trying to get support for his project against juvenile gang violence showing the rich are just hoping to mayor gavin newsome he wants to set up a civic behavior course for the toughest members of the city's gangs at city hall but he needs a room so girls we're going to go over the start of the route you know or do they want to try to set up the think it's about. that. oh it was so i thought this was great it would take me ten seconds you know be fixed but the reality is gang related activity islands generally. space flight is the fact that people are impoverished people don't have opportunities and they gauge in activities that are not constructs of the destructive that feed on themselves every

rich city in this country is exact same thing that we have income inequality in this. country the likes of which we've not seen since the one nine hundred twenty s. and that's the big burden of being mayor and a big burden challenge to live in a country that don't understand that there's more violence the streets of this country than there are in the streets of afghanistan or baghdad but we tend to core file goes on there but we frankly turn a blind eye to what goes on here. that's really a ten people ask miss it but say it's not. shown richard six solutions he's the founder and director of the ngo brothers against guns also known as bag the mission of a thirty six year old and a half dozen people working in the organization is to give the youth in ghettos some hope they're the only ones working to keep the kids out of prison one out of every three young african-americans in the united states ends up in prison before the age of twenty five miles. your book by works with the juvenile court it

looks out to young people who broken the law and helps them make it through perot. mentioned in papers to disown him the rules so she had no. the need for brothers against guns can be seen on these walls but this poster is just one example the list of poor young african-americans who've been killed in ghettos like bayview is almost endless. like this one is in a great way. for them to. these kids are they are paid into our errors like animals and this hardest here is her to see this packet see if in fact here. is more of this and it's like i've got to go. you know. i'm

a she'll have time for you. if somebody gives the despair you know and i just want to fit in they just want to be a part of something the. company can actually have kids that they don't think they live past twenty one twenty five years old so they're going to get all they can do on a fair while they can agree that. the price. we're. getting you now won't be impolite where we're. taking. the. lead is here to sign up for the redirection project for humans up to age twenty four this three month course trains the neighborhoods toughest kids for joins. the classes will be held in city hall and the reason one class will be able to see your god monitors and you know you've been to the graduation so you know and same reason why we don't want it that way is because you

were in coming in your stretch. to come in the city hall struck. that's my low brow you know obscene ego and i'm saying that's why i started this program and started for the other reason. in the verse three of the murder of his brother tracy showing visits is great woke me up as my brother got back to me in a major way. it opened and it made me realize what i was doing and what i was becoming and that i was a part of the reason why his day because he was trying to look up to me patterned after me follow up to. richard who was some of the good so violence and drugs were once his world now person a shooting and i was about nine years old coming home from school one day this is from school and. you know say these kids used to be right smack in the middle.

but i had a good shout and i lie you know i had everything i wanted as a kid you know my mother and father was a but he did what they wanted when i want to move and that's out all began you know you start off you know it's a. store. and then you start off making a few dollars in the store of making more dollars and then you start to get more more you get greedy woody it becomes like. something you need is like is like using a drug which now using the drug because you would think it's in the money. right here. so mom this wild world that. show me often visits the house where he was born you know his mother lives here alone. so.

she was doing things that she wasn't supposed to do right and behind my back and i didn't know where and how i was very i was really hurt you know because i never want to hear to be in that you know that kind of environment or that kind of like you know and i don't think he really heard me or not and i put him out and i found out you know i have to go well i mean you know obviously you know. anybody they get put out the way they house where they grew up and you know you know be angry about it but i mean she didn't want me you know so i decided i said ok fine i'll go i think i slept in my car for a couple days then my i think that i mean when i graduated from high school you know i was hustling and carrying a gun on the streets and stuff and so basically you know that that wasn't what she wanted in our you know household you know when i just pray and ask these kids that think twice before they pull

a gun on anybody's babies think about it when i just heard and not heard and that guy you're hurting apparently we're the one happy laughter agree he didn't build it i just think about it for you to. come up with a strong candidate. devon melville who works in the museum in san francisco on saturdays his good friend dishonor comes to pick him up and devon was in prison with the juvenile court for belonging to it getting. to where i am today for i want to say. i was. bad but what i was really wanted when i got out and really got. a lot of. help. i don't really see this part of town so much as.

the five. yeah i don't really get around saying let's go out of my neighborhood. there are just a few miles between whites and francisco the city visited by tourists and they view but there are two completely different worlds here devon and the scene they can't live a peaceful life there from different neighborhoods turfs by enemy gangs. i don't want to transportation when they're around we have a neighborhood it's. a living. right when i'm in a neighborhood there's no for. it could be on outside but. i know i can get shot or killed or something added to me any day when i'm not. oh it's like i don't hear from him i think the first thing my simple. people i want to. thank them all these candidates on have been at

a car to take in my neighborhood is young in this carrying pistols these young teenagers fourteen and under forty i'm going from twelve on up is home in my neighborhood i thought this before that's what i'm seeing every day. devon is named geo where generation a video he made in his neighborhood here young people from san francisco gators are given the chance to do something creative or try to. wrestle help me m.r. community basically telling my story. but from his friends david shows us the life and when slant. colors how i would get a chance with a laugh in anger on my chest when i would need. to go places i feel feel you have to go places but now i'm just not i think i think twice now back then i will think twice about i didn't go out on the safeway and begin the way i had to go i was full of it all and then i got sick with zero hour with

a juvenile. shawn also has to leave the office sometimes to talk to some of his old pals who are still associated with the harbor road going about three hundred yards from west point his reputation as a former gangster in his new role as mediator and friend had given him protection from the violence in this area. a trace. in west point you to go from there are two streets where the local you find out the kids in the harbor roadside meet here in the square outside the gym this is where they chat sometimes smoke are just hang out. right problem row. me victim. again we grew up in a war always rooted. out in our mark potter sold out

the street where my best friend was marco. he's one of those go eat they go to the movies they don't have the places just like all the other people do with susan ole but when they come out the area they just aspects more recent time even banks the drug dealers they just why why do you everybody got to have a tag on we not day so take the tag off motto is very few people like us to talk to the youngsters now is right they are all here with the hey could of like know. what to do to school they go to juba now back to floor that's my brother's like see your race steady go until now i mean if you out here you know you're in the streets you know your ass if you have your own spin around you this

is all it's not. small. for those that can make it. as they do. the bass won't turn me. brothers against guns is committed to a long list of projects like the basketball tournament organized by the housing institute but perhaps the most ambitious of its projects is the redirection prog. which tries to change the course of the lives of those who sign up selection must be strict account that's come from a war zone as was all of that in the flood but this was the. redirection project will start on the fifteenth. as you see notable is come down today and fill out the application we've got a bunch i'm coming down here we don't want nobody to be popping up and happy for somebody this. is. invented by america

there are just me. me and we are we are questions we have course we have like can if it's a question that we asked him are you going really go teaching him up to the major be still smoking marijuana in the last question really only are you moving are you ready to make a change because if you're not then redirection is not for it and you say and this like most of you got called out and while aloofness city jobs because they still smoke you eat you know since they were you know eleven take a piss test and we talked to take a piss test and it wasn't prepared for that and we'd go take a piss test a testing beggary anyone does it didn't really simulate a totally sure why do this thing it's oblation let. the redirection project is about to start classes will be held in a room incident and the last for three months in neutral territory for the war zone

these kids are told a little of everything i'm going to for a job how to get my id card or simply how to fill out forms. and they learn city i hate you in the end what they really want is to find a job. and almost typical sunday morning in america neighborhood but here nothing is typical the harbor road kids can't come here because it would mean risking their lunch. a rap singer is very committed to his community and to peace promotes his latest cd . everybody. we don't. know that. you. are.

going to. work if you look like. a. rapper j.t. promotes peace with his music the neighborhood association organizes the gang but this is nothing but a brief time out public festivals with police surveillance are a far cry from daily life in the neighborhood for the young people who live here daily life in israel they have a job is no future no hope their only choices for the future prison. devon films everything with this camera this footage reveals working life is really about invading your life so i've got to deal with. any day any second thoughts. about the people i know. they called me a crowd and they say. that i'm always talking i'm always talking about how we need

to give money. we do with all the. little to what they don't think. well the we use and you'll. hear. here at any moment fun and games can turn into tragedy. for. tonight there's been another murder in the streets of the view a car drives by shots ring out once again a family races into the street to cry over a young man's dead go to. see it here drive by gang shootings are common in san francisco about fifty people are murdered every year mostly in they view. the world war. on the slope.

like switzerland it's. a. simple this is how the kids remember their dead friends inspector tony chappell and then bro brief from the special brigade against youth gangs tell us about. these guys getting caught up in things that they don't know why they're doing it they just remember the last shooting that they need to have been for the last killing that they need to send a message about. right. so. i mean a lot of go folks that are just literally being held hostage or you know i mean. they never lies but everybody knows the time to come. according to the inspectors the presence of gangs here is evident they inspect an empty house and west point which according to what they've heard has become a new meeting place. is almost like reading again newspaper

yeah who their enemies are they have. to rock big block in kirkwood. corsi that assess we're on earlier in the you have the allies you have the home game you're west nile whose turf this this actually is then you have sonny deal. was a group where on the other side of the city who was a mob is clicked out with or ally with. the officers comb the neighborhood street to play street they disagree with most people who think that the violence only stems from personal right good riddance. we have a lot of photos of these guys they're wearing rags and it looks you know if you don't know any better you think you're a second south central los angeles and it there where rags and it's one of the gang signs you got photos the guys don't have a w. and they got their rag. they've got tattoos all over them it's

a big block to live for we all we got i mean at some point they take a leap from just being a neighborhood or her people are saying hey these are neighborhoods or these are sets because they don't really want to recognize that their kids belong to a gang at the gangs are present because that brings up negative connotations and why the kids end up getting into it there's a lot of reasons a lot of these families are broken so kids are joining gangs because they want to feel like they belong to something they're looking for that sense of family that they're not getting at home. it's sad to see the. a really nice view spoiled by all the shootings and killings up here. the situation is so extreme that a senseless concrete barrier has been put up dividing the neighborhood and two for the kids who are crossing it can be fatal. they're at the point now where their backs are against a wall and they're like you know i want out and it's mainly the older guys the

younger guys they're still kind of caught up in it but the older guys when i say older we're talking twenty three and up those guys are stand we want out we want jobs we want to do something better with our lives because this is taking us nowhere except to the cemetery. the city's black community has got a done ten big celebration the first sample and cisco bay area drops festival music's been key to the success with many of the young people in ghettos one of them is a big surprise j.t. has brought kids from his neighborhood with them from both harbor road and west point. six million in oxford street right now and it didn't just. bringing the two factions together is risky as one believes shows.

down. the singer has a tough time but he manages to keep the peace perhaps this festival will serve to give some hope to the district's hopeless new but the ghetto and crime are always a part of drop music. it's been fielding rewards for winning groups take over the stage. j. . he is getting ready to appear with his boy his latest cd has also won a prize. winning

. play. it's time for the redirection project graduation ceremony at san francisco's city hall your teachers and brothers against guns give speeches full of hope they've given these youngsters an opportunity and there's nothing more that they can do. one by one the graduates are given their diploma special richard this is the second from seven i read the twenty one people in last year's course still have jobs and will sean managed to increase the rate this year. the way they are where mel is to

keep the streets where. the streets where the day was too much like it was no war with me we could have got more but i know it was too much to do that now faced enough to help us get through what we got duped into does not like the way they are our sixth sense. but basic sense of what right. and is determination in your will power words full of optimism six months later three of these young men were in jail lost his job four months later. doing his twelve bullets in his body. the quickest he couldn't appear in the last photograph because he was killed before it was taken that you think. we go. to kill people and that is. trying to.

make. it part of the fake. like.
