I'm A Gangsta -- The Motivation And The Regret

CYMC, Video, Ruben City Palomares, Posted: Sep 15, 2006

Editor's Note: San Francisco has an out of control gang violence problem, but what motivates young people to join gangs? Ruben City Palomares -- in his first film -- explores the reasons young homies choose to get jumped into a gang and reveals the lifetime of regret older gang members carry as a result of their fateful decision to be a gangsta. Palomares, 16, is a filmmaker with Conscious Youth Media Crew.

This is a streaming MP4 video - you'll need Quicktime 6 or later to view it.

It was fascinating to see so close a culture that is so inaccessible to outsiders. Very powerful lesson from the former gang member. I hope that this video reaches people who can learn from this lesson.
