Baby Gangsta
Directed by Damond CollierIn the shadows of West LA, you're either the predator or you're the prey. LAPD veteran Detective Coleman (Slink Johnson) grew up in the Oakwood district of Venice, a crime-ridden side of LA that Hollywood never sees. Coleman grew up immersed in the gang culture and mentality that still plagues the community, but as a teenager something changed: he lost a close friend, and almost lost his own life to a gang shooting. Ever since, he's made it his life mission to pay it forward. Baby Gangsta, known as BG, lives in the same neighborhood Detective Coleman grew up in. Coleman watches BG... he sees himself in BG - the same choices, the same mistakes, and the same potential to make it out of a dead-end life. Meanwhile, as Crips, BG and his childhood friend Slim are being drafted into war with their rivals across town, the Bloods. Especially Big Poppa (Mitchy Slick) and his road dog Goon (Compton Menace) who are on a quest for blood after BG slaps Big Poppa's sister... that's how easy it is to start a gang war on the mean streets of LA. Under the ever-watchful eye of Detective Coleman, will BG choose a never-ending cycle of crime, violence and destruction, or can he escape his seemingly destined path for a new way of life?
