adequate education or treatment you're disrupting their lives without actually providing them with any positive interventions are positive supports and so what happens is that upon release they're even less prepared to deal with the sidey too often with time in jail in the criminal record many youth find it hard to finish school or to fund employers that will hire them. one block away from the prison is liberty's kitchen and organization dedicated to helping actress you right now mobile video so i'm trying to scream i pad but i'm going to do a lot of the time i was on a gun challenge i want it out without a bad police. dog and ization trained sixteen the twenty year olds in a working restaurant work often begins with a group discussion over a daily quote it's easier to build strong children than the paper of good men it's

picked up again same thing over and over for kids who need income selling drugs often seems like the only available job as i was thirteen i got in a game with twenty doubt it was a twenty dollar flip around with a call a flip of twenty dollars could you could break them a hair and make two twenty out of rocks so if i have twenty eight out of i'm going to flip a rock break and i have to make four take affably get to know flippers. rate them have now got eight but i didn't make the five sales and i don't turn my twenty four hours and also the hundred out of me and i've been a money more then what a fifteen he was supposed to make you get out of school at three and if you from three to twelve at night and all the traffic with twenty dollars an hour left by twelve o'clock you've got prizes under the. truck and i have a camaro i'm. just on the avenue i had to make money i'm i'm going to work you might be on drugs my fears and i'm in a home where we may well only fans oh yeah. but only sound is around when the

all. our restaurant is made down well the for status on necessity the lure of selling drugs lead to packing guns for protection it was like no i've got a gun too i don't know there was a gun maybe made him feel masking that's what he was i was a guard so i'm a give me a gun that i don't want you started on me what yoga i got a gun to welcome our you we've got scary you had to have missed dealing with that you really had to have specially with me because i didn't deal. i don't deal in my neighborhood because. in a good scene when i was younger the head of the grass didn't really step it if they had a beef between younger cats and really wants to be like may i need to stop this i know i don't know which i want to whatever but this is before it any good thing has only more blood on sharon but as well now eight really don't have the old if it is a communist right now.

the things they other people in my family have done because they contribute to you know like drugs and virus and all this the fact that it's the fifth day just because what they do i think there's some eyes going to come and try to get me through ten days in heaven they're ready at this moment the madness for somebody somehow most is that what we did on the. home with you know street justice. who put you in a hole when you're a tally to this family and their families are returning to this family in the wallet game with when i walk out the door and the first thing they go is in the mind i love to the left and i wait for about ten seconds to make sure that nobody's coming they say in a car coming to my right it's not going to get to before you give me. the raise. that cost more so you got a straight got

a gun. we got to get out you can protect yourself. airboat milly's a youth organization which made the shot film focus on retaliation we have hit in the family my son was just one of six years old he was a joy a computer engineering and worked for coca-cola bollen at night he got shot five times and he and we really knew that we had to do some model gun violence because i had another son still to still live in and also we had community members and family members there it was a set of bodies and we knew that we didn't need people retaliate in my son's murder if it's not you. it's only live in son was cast as michael a boy who was pressured by friends to retaliate for his brother's murder every time you kill one black kid you a do a number he's citing his friends to take

a keogh you. just. never lost a child. then you don't know what you know you hear stories about it so many people

used to think the authorities by your laws but you really don't know how i feel into you. you. is an epidemic and you really have to understand on that day i lost my identity i was a mother and wife who had two children and now have one i don't believe and not answer the question when people ask me how many children i have they've its death murder left a huge gaping hole in my life like half of me die with him isn't great emptiness so i had to fill that up with something. when you tell someone it just child was murdered in the streets or you know it or the ex how he died or he was shot of being you know he was murdered ok did they automatically assume what he must the was involved in some type of drug so he most you know was a big one of the streets or whatever person killed another person you are

destroying this person whole family the whole family and the only day family your family also you know your families where you are into two families. over for this generation you can't change this to parody made up a mouth i don't think there's hope to stop violence in new orleans i don't think violence but never stuck on really going no i don't think so and if the next generation will be like degeneration then you know put them in jail that's not going to solve not because when they get out they better not worth it and what they will learn before they went so well life some people just bank in a row my banking killing is cool it gets you by gives you power so i don't know how you go will come know even though the.

every thing that seems to be true to me in reviewing the murder board and reading the articles of virtually every murder victim. the one constant is in some way there is a connection to poverty when you live in poverty at some point in some generation you'll move from poverty with almost a her a spirit of hard work and labor you will you will eventually shift to despondency. and hopelessness if you've got nothing and you've got no opportunity what do do you. you start to construct your own culture and society against the news that is glorified if you seal minda dogs in

a big cause in a drawer it is a glorified kid see all just on t.v. you see it but they can't put their hand i want to be can you get how can i get this they make it look like is. so key no. one is not but they tend to not care because they're hungry they want to feed their family so much that they don't really you know pay attention to what they're actually were kind of monster to creating one of the people working to contradict those images of violence is kevin griffin he's a member of toussaint a media collective that combines entertainment with education like here you don't even talk to you when you're mad you spoof everything from fang to the future of hip hop right. like sesame street meets the six and part of me. oh yeah i remember when everybody has

a great big danger around every corner. every call. to send social commentary has gone at them several wars and a loyal following on you tube there's a lot of opportunities for negativity to just grow and you've got to accept what kind of culture we have where the negativity can grow so easy. to. mock it. and tell us your rampant life all this way and all of. the market being a powerful good player like. if

you read economic up and downs in the final month they belong to the deal shanghai and the rest because i was doing the case you will be in every week. we speak your language as i think about the war not a day in. the music programs is documentaries in spanish more matters to you breaking news a little too much of angles to these stories. you hear. then surely all too spanish for a visit. since you know what you are arguing for is that kurds should put that make up identity above that national identity let me ask you a personal question why you are kurds forest or an iraq at first i am

a kurd first then i'm a rocky i am not iraq you that i am a kurds because let me ask you that question i am from holland i have been bombarded you know i still remember the smell of the chemical weapons so what iraqi identity brought to me iraq and then they brought to me the killings of people graves four thousand five hundred villages were destroyed. who had that kind of thing right why would you do your thing and that's fine but while we try to use that you know that power that mess was something positive you know because then if the wind tomorrow say it you know what they. you can always a school if you don't think every town hall will be in on books so ha but.

one of two since most popular videos is every book in the world a parody of the way song every girl in the world the video was created as part of a book giveaway. in no. way. in this day and age we have so many more outlets that people didn't have years ago you had and people come out on camera thinking they own thing you know now you can sort of create the change you want to see you i got to say you know you can become that thing that you want to change and broadcasting for the world but to have a kid and wonder about and i thought about some simak could you imagine what would mom can we do you to write you know i think just like that the chains are kind of care about those who. just want to show kids that it's

a lot more to put them in that we do stand for money you can be right you can you can really let your voice be heard. with a variety of problems facing new orleans you there isn't an easy solution but the efforts of two sets and a number of youth development programs across the city are planning the seas of change and the night war internationally known event producer call washington volunteers his time to coach kids killed all want to be bad good don't want to be gangsters they don't want to be drug dealers they don't want that but without a time to give the help a kicking. b. we can see when we first came this blue was a made it because sorry we had the word gone and we had to get that to be the number one thing we won a battle was do so we had to stay here we were going to be engaged in

a life want to develop basis you were serious about we want to go we would do it then we saw a change the n.i.d. or just respect the peer tension the more focus the more concerning me eager to want to learn and grow and develop for the fifth patches and brought more part of the delhi commitment is helping kids to see a brighter future seventy five percent of the children i worked with couldn't write down their dreams and hopes their aspirations we talked to one thousand year old who didn't who asked what he was going to do in five years and he said another be alive in five years and we did. and so we realized we had to wipe that slate clean that that curriculum is not going to work here we had to start with the basics teach the kids how to imagine again one of our foster children that lived with us during this time came up to me very very worried he was not he thought that my seven year old there was something wrong with him because the seven year old was sitting on the couch saying hey chris ok rin spaceship we're going to go explore

you sit here and i'll be the pilot and chris was trying to convince me that there was something wrong with my son because he didn't know where he works as chris had lost at nine years old the ability to imagine while developing activities for youth the fist paget's realize that many of the children at the center only getting fed in school. we said we did something one thursday night that's now turned to every thursday night we had some extra money and we had a donation come in that we were allowed order pizza with we had everybody come in and they had to sit down at a meal i rearranged all the tables into a family style meal and we served the pizza sitting down and having a meal together and they had talked to each other well those who are not from new orleans may not know this but third words are not supposed to talk to tend toward their mamas and their grandmothers in their great grandmothers have told them that parkway in zion city her no way. but the power of pizza over that seems you know

when every day they have to sit down when they eat together and they have to speak to each other kids have found out they were related when they thought they were enemies kids and found out they have a common grandparent kids have found out their evacuation story was the same. and i find this common ground when they talk to each other like you think this is a very good day for the kids. to keep kids off the street to help you with homework we have my fun time family night make sure no one has a fight curve. telling their pants down below but they teach us to do the right bangs and life so we don't go in a bad direction have fun and know not and then don't know what happened to them or that all the kids cavities all the right ways them want to look at father behind us

and do the right thing. quartered central city you can palm a project helps young people from around the area by providing a variety of services they offer tutoring mentor and counseling as well as special assistance to those who are transitioning back home from detention centers by providing tents case management we could help them reconnect you know with family and community and make a healthy transition into young adulthood when they self esteem is now when they begin to feel that nobody is want to give them an opportunity but then they began to shut down and they go back to the things that are in their community that they think is a way to get out of it or a nasty the struggle is like a revolving door i know christian won't kill us all body is different you bet i. lived through. it was the word. i think it was the thing about the supports

that you hare and if they were not there you know with choices which you have may feel should be reflected is that that you should be doing what you should be you the son this only. make you you know it's not something that's going to happen overnight it's a it's a process you know you have to get back to the things that we got away from and it's about understanding and allowing the kids. to to to know that you really care you know because if you take hope out i mean if you don't you know him no reason at all to have raised the board but when i was trying to help out trying to be. in. the bedroom you know some of the lads were why was it rude not going to buy. those who watch them by. doing the film

around us nice to just get up to go to the river they now want out. and that will help. our family. see soon. so yes if we really want another lease you know we would go for a change of what we call. our. time and be helpful be ok you are losing because you do what is the reason a.n.z. you follow the rules i've always been told that a very good very good this or a good one you raise a ball a. very. it's a lot of people getting killed though to teams a really good in a city life and almost see my like i am tired of people having children and hoping

that they make it i would children are supposed to make it don't help me with my boys i'll tell him don't come to miles which of potato salad in your words of condolence is help me while he is alive more park. or you know what. i'm saying but i'm a better school and they have work to keep young teens off the streets the best book courts could. organization groups in the district i'm talking about where you know somewhere else because it is we streaming know everything being we because we had no choice but to be become no deaths we see you out only give you know people come at us then you have to sort of like break this to you know like give them back to the point where they should be you know when we talk about the future of louisiana and the future of our city we need to change around the dynamic we are

first in incarceration and yet either last or next to last in education that is certainly not the way to produce a viable state in terms of economic opportunity in terms of investment but it's also throwing away an entire generation of young folks i think people finally agree that you can't hire enough cops to make the city safe people say make the laws harsher and harsher is harsh when you hit on a street with a man ten and some rock you don't care where the and go away for life or not whether a teenager is where his pants down to his knees cursing up a storm or brandishing a gun what they're really saying is look at the. matter. i don't want to get caught out i don't want to get i don't want to die i just really do not want to die young young age because whenever i see it on the news my kid died for even turn eighteen that's a shock to me that makes me not want to live here anymore but still make money

because my friends are here you know like people that i can see myself actually growing up with you know stuff like that after like i'm just torn in the middle i want to stay here but i don't want to stay a because i don't want to die. shellshock
