Englewood: The Growing Pains in Chicago

Englewood is a very good film about how family (or lack of) impacts our kids. It depicts home environments where there are 2 parents, another home with 1 grandma raising a son, and a home with only an addicted mother raising a son. Schools need to show this movie because the movie is very relatable. There is swearing language in the film, but kids hear that a lot these days anyway. There is no brutal violence in the film, but there is shooting depicted. The film shows when there is lack of support and loving environment, kids can't help but to do wrong. Survival is the key for kids with no support. A powerful film and an amazing effort by young 24-yr. old actor/writer/director William L. Cochran.
