Featured project
Ima Gangsta is a short personal documentary that was produced by Ruben Palomares when he was 16 years old. This shockingly intimate and true-to-life story centers on Ruben's own quest to understand why so many of his friends and extended family members are involved in gang life. It has since become a model for facilitating peer-to-peer support groups in gang prevention and is broadly used in the Bay Area to educate juvenile probation advocates in techniques of dialogue and problem-solving. more
