1. G Dog And The Homeboys
Father Greg Boyle and the Gangs of East Los Angeles
An intimate narrative of a Jesuit priest’s work with gang-involved youth in East Los Angeles, tracing the emergence of jobs, education, and intervention programs while portraying the daily realities of violence, grief, loyalty, and resilience through vivid portraits of young people and their families; it examines the tensions with law enforcement and politics and shows how steadfast compassion, opportunity, and community can spark transformation and second chances.
