MICHIGAN PREMIERE. In this real, relatable, and truly unforgettable documentary, a Washington, D.C.-area negotiator urges an LGBTQIA gang to fight for their voices and identities instead of fighting back against their rivals. Directors TOBY OPPENHEIMER (an Emmy award-winner for Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown and The End: Inside the Last Days of the Obama White House) and DANA FLOR (The Nine Lives of Marion Barry) follow these violent, vibrant youth as they work through family turmoil, personal strife, community discourse, and forced rewiring of their damaged upbringing.

Contains explicit language and violence.
