For the people who’ve been asking when I’m going to post another video. My team and I have multiple projects in various stages of development. Please be patient as we are focusing on QUALITY, not quantity. Meanwhile, follow me on Instagram for throwbacks and updates. instagram.com/mannyjimenezsr On behalf of the cast and crew -- Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the two million views. In the making of this project, we wanted to honor my childhood friend, Gerardo Rivas, and utilize this film to provide hope and inspiration for anyone who might feel trapped in a negative lifestyle. We intend to show that you too can take a different path - no matter where you come from. If this short film touched just one person, then our goal was met and Gerardo did not pass away for nothing. The screenplay for the feature-length version has been completed. We are now in early development stages and aim to collaborate with producers to finalize the project. Please subscribe, like and comment for updates. For business inquiries, please contact: imdb.me/MannyJimenezSr Special thanks to the program that sponsored this film -- Southern California Crossroads. They do great work in the community. www.socalcrossroads.org Very special thanks to the Rivas family for their support. They have been behind us every step of the way. EAST LOS film is now up. Click below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaLGpKV7j9iNppI Thank you all for subscribing, as well as your views, likes, and comments. Please feel free to repost. Constructive criticism is welcome.

The sad part is this is the real plot to many real life stories. Usually poor neighborhoods with family problems get into situations like this.

[@MyMUSiCKCHANNELTV]

Great short film. Truth is I lived this as well growing up. However I chose to stay in the gang and put in work. All for nothing. I ruined my record, put my family through hell, all wasted time. In the end my own gang and our different sets ended up trying to kill each other. Lost homies and now that I'm in my 30s I look back and realize it was all a fuckin waste if time and life but I learned alot. I try to tell every youngster I see to change their paths, but truth is, most people will never learn until they go through it and experience that life themselves. I hope as many come out alive and wiser. Stay blessed my gente.

[@Until.the.nets.are.filled]

You may not have realized it, but every second, two people die. What happens then? Is there a Heaven and Hell? Are you "good enough" to get to Heaven? Look at the Ten Commandments. Have you ever lied or stolen? (regardless of value) Ever looked with lust and therefore committed adultery in your heart? (see Matthew 5:28) You may see these as "no big deal" but God sure doesn't. He is Holy and said, "be Holy, for I am Holy." God sent His Son, Jesus, to live the perfect life we never could. He took God's wrath on the cross for sinners. Jesus paid the punishment for our sins against a Holy God. Then He rose from the dead. Cry out to God for mercy, confessing and forsaking your sins. Put your trust in Jesus (rather than "good works") to save you. Read your Bible daily and obey what you read. Please don't be mad, I really care about you and everyone else who reads this. Take care.

[@JJ-ku3sg]

on god this is true I might be young but ive seen this cycle happen with me, my family, and my homies and no one ever sees whats really going on until after the fact. after we shed tears for someone we care about that we'll never get back.and after we get sent to die for people who wouldnt do the same for us. we can try to pass our experiences and knowledge of the world onto others but they never believe us until it happens to them.

[@MannyJimenezSr]

Well said.

[@eozed]

As a 42 year old Father it’s our job to break that cycle,being cool doesn’t pay.When your broke and don’t have enough to pay your bills or buy food now that’s not cool.Its about leading our kids to be better and smarter than we were.Whats the use of being the majority but yet uneducated.We have to do get out of that curse and start proclaiming blessing over our kids.This Father has made a change for the best of his kids and I can honestly say I don’t have to worry about this lifestyle for my kids.Being a vato loco is not cool.Being a nerd in school is because believe me he will be the one set.Be a leader not a follower and stand for what is right even if it makes you look like a fool.It takes balls to stand for what is right.

[@nativearizona1]

I grew up in a gang on the West Side of LA & saw almost all my homies grow up to be losers, alcoholics, drug addicts, pintos etc including myself. Pretty soon our gigantic hood was gone, it was all for nothing, what we lived for then.You can die for a varrio, but the varrio won't die for you. As a matter of fact, I had one big guy homie try to kick my ass claiming I wasn't bad enough for the hood, you know how that turned out, being a veteran street fighter like I was. My two brothers & sister were all in the same gang, now they're long gone. After that, not one of our children have grown up being in a gang, so I guess coming from experience, we taught them all to become a somebody , and enjoy life. Get yourself an education, or trade, whatever, but something you can make a living at, leave that dumb shit behind

Ill always have a part of me thats down for the cause but Im not looking for it like i use to. Still represent my City ( Los Angeles) just more wise. Earn respect and it is given back. Another thing like you said is to educate yourself and go for what you know because sometimes we dont get another chance.

And none of them bang anymore just work,be a good citizen and be nice. When you are older you will realize how stupid gangs are . They where 22 now today they are just 6 including me. That’s sad. I remember watching Kenny die ( the white kid in the block, I watched snoop dog and big daddy die the two black nortenos) I watched 3 people die. Not worth it.( but of course there is a new younger generation of gangsters now and they don’t listen to older people). I live in a farm now, and make cheese .

I met my homie through another friend, just a few years younger than me, we clicked up and became almost inseparable, he would pick me up and we would go to the wrong side of the tracks to pick up hynas and cruise all night, he came from a Christian family, he was a good kid, he just happened to like the Chicano style, dressed cholo and even got himself a lowrider, so then i met my babymama and gradually started spending more time with her, in the mean time my homie was introduced to the dope game by a "friend" and got him to slang his dope, so one they his "friend" decided to rip off some mayates from out of state that came down to pick up a few kilos and convinced my homie to jack these fools money, needless to say these mayates were hardcore and weren't having it, they kidnapped my homie and torture him asking for their money back, so these fools get on the phone with my homie's "friend" demanding their money back or they will kill my homie and his "friend" said i don't have the money so kill him, so they asked him to repeat what he said and put the phone to my homie's ear and he heard his "friend" say: "kill him", when my homie heard this tears came running down his cheeks and the mayates caught him on fire burning 95 % of his body, only to die a couple of hours later, to this day i know for a fact if i hadn't met that hyna, I'd probably died that night with him. What I'm trying to say is not everybody is your friend, you should know who's who and who's not, you catch my drift?

[@juanandres7542]

The reason i know he had tears running down is because my homie took along for the ride a friend of his, he survived that night and was able to get all three arrested, didn't mentioned it cause i didn't want to make my story that long to read

I love movies/skits like this. It shows the real side of gangs and nasty violence and why you should turn away. This life ain’t no game and one slip up could put you in the grave. Good job on the movie, you got another subscriber!

Forget that! That's not even his real father, his step father instead. I'd say "you ain't my real pops!" Idc if I get an ass beating!

[@tylercee4857]

Lazy ass son, he's provided with a place to sleep and food to eat, the least he could is get the house chores done

[@akandrea6731]

biggo meat so you think your tough then? You have to pull your weight and do your part and be responsible sooner or later. He’s giving a house to live in and cares for your mother. Being lazy and not helping out the home shows ya just a immature kid who doesn’t appreciate what’s really being provided. So take you lil tough azz somewhere else. Eventually you’ll mature and see there are no free rides. Even in the pen you gotta follow rules and clean your sht up. Might as well learn to be responsible young.

[@realcritical-kr2dd]

@@akandrea6731 I already know what lies ahead and I'm well keeping my weight up. Don't underestimate how my actions are, I know what's going on in life for most part. Better again to leave the household and go about your life, maybe things will be complicated but after awhile, you'll get over it.

[@osanchez9436]

Gøddəss Иøvą19 that’s not right ... when someone takes you in and treats you as a father or at least gives you a roof over your head I suggest listen to the individual... life is cruel out there and hard. Don’t like it ? Suck it up until you know you can make it in your own or you got a plan b .

Great job! Loved the message behind it. I’m from South Central LA and I can relate to these kids joining gangs out of neglect from their own homes, it’s sad but that’s the way it is. If you guys ever need help for a future film I’m available I go to Cal State University, Los Angeles going after a film degree I would love the experience.
