Harsh reality in full bloom. The violence can seem excessive, but watch the documentary feature in the included "extras", and you'll realize that what is portrayed here is true to life. One scene involving a child no older than 10 staring down the barrel of a gun wielded by one of his friends was so devastating I had to fast-forward past it. You won't forget the look on the boy's face. There is hope to be found within the film, but it must be emphasized that the hope is buried in the midst of a terrible darkness.
