Gabriel is a former gang member with two strikes. A third strike will put him in jail for life. Through Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, he and other at-risk youth have found jobs and support as they build a new life for themselves and their families.

Boston entrepreneur Jim McSherry has tackled a new project in his debut film, Homeboy. It chronicles three former East LA gang members whose lives have always been entrenched in that culture-as they share their dignity in the struggle to leave their violent lives behind through the triumph of the human spirit. The film is a blunt look at the reality of the gang lifestyle, without the usual Hollywood burnish and bluster. The sole purpose of Homeboy is to provide the viewer with a unique "moment in time" opportunity. Through visuals, music and dialogue, the film not only provides insight into a growing problem across the United States, as well as the world, but the opportunity to understand. McSherry hopes viewers who understand can then help change.

Written, Produced and Directed by Jim McSherry; Director of Photography Stan Rodman and Momchil Michailov; Assistant Director / Cameraman Elsa Gonzalez & Nada Anani; Editor Tony Hale; Still Photography Lucas Foglia; Music Dorian Charnis; DVD/Poster Graphics Keyon Hodges; Production Media Consultant Jan Harrison
