nine hundred twenty s. and that's the big burden being mayor and a big burden challenge to live in a country that don't understand that there's more violence the streets in this country than there are in the streets of afghanistan or baghdad but we tend to glorify with goes on there but we frankly turn a blind eye to what goes on here. that's really a term people ask me to say but since 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 musician is to give the youth in ghettos some hope they're the only ones working to keep the kids out of prison one night of every three young african-americans in the united states ends up in prison before the age of twenty five wife. by works with the juvenile court it looks after young people who've broken the law and helps them make it through perreault

you know i'm saying he don't you know i'm saying that's why i started this program instead of the other reason. verse three of the murder of his brother tracy schoen visits is great he woke me up as my brother got to me in a major way. it opened and made me realize what i was dealing. with i was becoming and that i was a part of the reason why is. because he was trying to look up to me patterned after me follow up. richard is also was some of the cancer violence and drugs were once his world now personal issues and i was about nine years old coming home from school one day this is from school and. you know these kids used to be right smack in the middle of it. but i have a good shout and i don't lie you know i had everything i wanted as

a kid you know my mother and father was a but give me what they want when i want to move and that's. you know you know it's a. story of. living then you start off making a few dollars in the store of making more dollars and then you start over more more you get greedy woody becomes like. something you need is like is like using a drug which is now using a verb because you addicted to the money. right here. so mom swap world that. show me off and this is the house where he was born you know his mother lives here alone. and. she was doing things that she wasn't supposed to do and her and behind my back and

i didn't know him and i was very i was really hurt you know because i never want to hear the end that you know that kind of environment or that kind of life you know and i don't think he really heard of me i'm not and i put him out when i found out you know you 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 or 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 but i mean i slept in my car for a couple days then monson should mean that 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 in our household and then when i just pray and ask these kids that think twice before they pull a gun on anybody's babies think about it you know i just heard and not heard in

that car you're hurting the brownie we're the one happy left to grieve and bill that i just think about it for you. god bless the kids. devon melville works in a museum in san francisco and so does his girlfriend the scenery comes to pick him up devon was impressed more but you know court for belonging to a good. basin got me to where i am today for i want to say june i was going to let me stress and i was. bad but when i got how it was really when it happened and i got out and really got on probation a. lot of. it. will help. i don't really see this part of town so much. so trying to find used to be yeah i don't really get around so much. out of my neighborhood. there are just

a few miles between whites and francisco the city visited by tourists and behavior but they're two completely different worlds here devon and the scene that kind of live a peaceful life there from different neighborhoods turfs by enemy gangs. and transportation and when they're around the neighborhood it's me living. but when i'm in a neighborhood there's no form there's no. outside but. i know i can get shot or killed or something added to me any day when i'm up on that oh it's like i don't hear from them i think the first thing i simply. i know. that people might. think i'm always kid that's i'm happy i got a car to take in my neighborhood is young that's carrying

a young teenager fourteen and under. like going from his home in my neighborhood i thought this before that's what i'm seeing every day. devon is a name gee. he said it's new video he made on guns in his neighborhood here young people from san francisco's gators are given the chance to do something creative. but from his friends david shows us the life payments let. me. go places. but now. back. at the go i was. shown also has to leave the office sometimes to talk to some of those who are still

associated with the horrible road about three hundred yards from west point his reputation as a former gangster and his new role as mediator and friend has given him protection from the violence in this area. the trees. in west point you go back go from there are two streets where the local youths hang out the kids in the harbor roadside meet here in the square outside the gym this is where they chant sometimes smoke or just hang out. right robin row watch. me victim. again we grew up in war always rooted. out in our mark probert stole

our street where my best friend was mark. he's one of those go eat they go to the movies they go rather places just like all the other people do all for susan or less but when they come out the area they just pass that's more recent time eat again banks the drug they just why why do you everybody got to have a tag on we not pay so thank you ted motto is very few people like us to talk to the youngsters now is like they are here with the hey could of like no time on what to do to school they go to juba now back in floor that's my brother's riker's see your race study go until now i mean if you're out here do you do it in the street you know. here you know where you are standing around this.

mall. for those i can make it. as the new. bass won't try 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 project which tries to change the course of the lives of those who sign up selection must be strict account that's coming from a war zone as was all of that of the flood brothers because. the redirection project will start on the fifteenth. as you see notable is come down today and fill out the application we have a bunch i'm coming down here we don't know nobody to be up and up and happy for somebody yes. be invented by america staffer just need to. meet him and we are we have questions we have course we have

like ten if it's in question that we asked him are you game related do the go team up team we've got major beef you still smoking marijuana and the last question is really only are you willing are you ready to make a change because if you're not then redirection is not great you say and just like most that we got caught up in light of losing a city just because they still smoke you weak you know since they're you know eleven take a piss test and we totally have to take a piss test and i wasn't prepared today and want to go take a piss there's an excess going back there and then he wonders if you really simulate a total nation work why do this thing it's operational. redirection project is about to start classes will be held in a room in city hall on the last for three months in neutral territory for the war zone these kids are taught a little of everything i was in a for

a job i had to get my id card or simply how to fill out forms. and they learn civic behavior in the end with a real bind and to find a job. an almost typical sunday morning in an american neighborhood but here nothing is typical of the harbor kids can't come here because it would mean risking their lives. a rap singer is very committed to his community and to peace promotes his latest cd it is a very good thing that everybody. we don't. know that. is really. really. hard. work for the. 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 is very poor and they have a job so the future no hope their only choices for the future prison. devon films everything with this camera this footage reveals working life is really like invading your life so i got to do it with half nobody that i know. any day any second thoughts. about the people what i know. they call me the crowd they are they do put it back and i'm always talking i'm always thinking about how we need to give money before overrules with all the.

little to let them get the right style and go the way use and you'll. be more capable after all less. here at any moment fun and games can turn into tragedy. the. numbers tonight there's been another murder in the streets of a view a car drives by shots ring out once again a family races into the street to cry over a young man instead go to. see kids here drive by gang shootings are common in san francisco about fifty people are murdered every year most think and they've had. the world boy killed russell can also hold a gun to slow down quietly like that klitzman was going to say circle this is how the kids remember their dead friends and specter attorney

chaplain there and then bro brief from the special brigade against youth gangs tell us about it. these guys get caught up in things that they don't know why they're doing it they just remember the last shooting that they need to avenge or the last killing that they need to send a message about. all right. so go for i mean a lot of go folks that are just literally being held hostage here you know i mean. they later lies everybody knows it's on the. according to the inspectors the presence of gangs here is evidence they inspect an empty house and west point which according to what they've heard has become a new meeting place. is almost like rain again newspaper yeah who their enemies are yet. to rock big block in kirkwood.

corsi the recess we're on earlier then do you have the allies you have the home gang here west nile whose turf this this actually is they have sunnydale. was a group where on the other side of the city who was mobbed is clicked out with or ally with. the officers co in the neighborhood street by street they disagree with most people who think that the violence only stems from personal rightful rights. 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 angels and there were rags to tone up gang signs you got photos the guys don't want to be you and they got their rag. they've got tattoos all over miss 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 do 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 these. 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 a point now where their backs are against the wall and they're like you know what 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 sam francisco bay area of rock festival music's been key to the success with many of the young compelling ghettoes one of them as a big surprise j.t. has brought kids from his neighborhood with him from both harbor road and west point. i'll. take you out in august break right now going to get. distanced by not. bringing the two factions together is risky as one believes shows.

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

first place. 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 try seven iron to twenty then the people in last year's course still have jobs and will sean managed to increase the rate this year. they are where mel is to beat the streets where. the three big it was too much they could get was no pork i

mean we could got more but i know it was too much when it was enough basically enough to help us get through what we got duped into just about like the right of way but they are our success. but the success like. any determination in your willpower words full of optimism six months later three of these young men were in jail ali lost his job four months later. doing just twelve bullets in his body. the quickest he couldn't have here in the last photograph because he was killed before it was taken that you think. we know that if. they kill. you that. from the first. they make. that part of. it

like.
