About the film:

We have forgotten how to talk to each other leading to anger and arguments that lead to violence and death. Our children are in constant danger just walking out onto an unfamiliar block. Drugs & alcohol have become the stress relievers, and hope has been replaced with hopelessness. The mothers having to work 2 and 3 jobs keep our children unsupervised, taking away their innocence as they raise themselves. We have been told love can fix everything, but for us "LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH."
