Warrior boyz

Jagdeep carries the reminders of his gang experience mapped across his body in the form of bullet wounds and machete scars. A steady pattern of escalation pulled him deeper into the criminal underworld, until he says "I was gonna be dead". His experience is an ominous warning to 15-year old Tanvir, whose life is a free fall of alienation and violence. Eighteen-year-old Vicky, who is struggling to graduate from high school, refuses to even talk about his past for fear of retaliation. To date, more than a hundred young men from the South Asian community have died in gang-related violence in Metro Vancouver. Gangs are a reality of urban life, yet behind the body count and headlines, a far different battle id being waged. Educators and parents are taking action against gang violence. This documentary takes an unflinching look at the root causes of gang violence, and offers real solutions and hard-fought hope for the future.
