2010 PROFESSIONAL PROJECT

A Way Out

A Way Out is a documentary based on the stories of men and women who are in the process of leaving or who have successfully parted from gang life. Constructed from personal stories, the video is a cautionary tale, motivational portrayal of success and informational tool for youth, parents, educators, and the general public. The video is useful for those in the pre-contemplation and contemplation stages of getting out of a gang, as well people who can support this difficult process. It provides hope, steps they may want or need to take, as well as a realistic view of how difficult but worthwhile it can be to start a new life.

Produced with a grant from San Diego County Board of Supervisors Reinvestment Funds. Partners for this project include San Diego County Office of Education, City of Vista and Mano a Mano
Foundation.
