This is ashame Qaadir seems like a handsome and well spoken young man. I am so sick and tired of this.

The lifer had to go BACK to prison, which I know he did not want to do, and talk to this man AGAIN because his drug addiction still kept him stealing

Danny Glover, much like 99% of Hollywood, INCORRECTLY uses the word "ironically." IF Qaadir had been 'ironic' he might have been a cop or prison guard.

When they said malik was also a prisoner again i was like omg wtf is wrong with these people?

Someone give them a fucking job.

Those two men are very intelligent, i can, and anyone who has half a brain can see that. It just goes to show how important are decisions are. Good luck to any one who is struggling with choices.

@sonottiny Arnold Shipiro had a definite personal interest in this documentary. Malik and I are in a relationship so I get this information first hand. The results of this film made huge differences in many lives. If it was made only for money, I suppose it was a success in that regard. But the success it brought was far more to the people that were affected......including viewing audiences. And since you watched this only days ago...it still sparks interest.

@FelchBelcher -- By the way, a CORRECT term would be something like, "Eerily, Quaadir predicted his future..". Or "Sadly...", or "Unfortunately..." You're right about "Irony"-- that would apply if he'd gone completely to the flip side of his prediction. "What do you want to become?" Instead of, "A professional thief.", it would be ironic if he'd become a security alarm installer, or a police officer whose job is recovering stolen merchandise, or busting the thieves-- Am I right?

[1lricardo]

@FelchBelcher -- Almost as bad as people constantly saying "literally"-- as in, "Whew-- it was so hot, I was LITERALLY sweating BULLETS", or, "He hurt me so deeply, my heart was LITERALLY BREAKING".... " HUH?! Know the definition of a word before presuming to use it, and, by all means, use it CORRECTLY. All of the people who say ""All of the sudden", "Can you BORROW me $100?", & "Irregardless", & "That's a WHOLE, NOTHER thing." annoy me, no end.... I could just go on & on...

[sonottiny]
