SYNOPSIS:
Terrence Fisher, a teen living in a housing project in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, had seven of his friends shot and killed by a gun. Terrence is not a gang member or a drug dealer he is just a normal teenager who likes making hip-hop with his friends. What could Terrence do to stop gun violence in Bed-Stuy before losing another friend, or his own life? Terrence and a fellow teen filmmaker, Daniel Howard, picked up a camera to tell the story about gun violence in Bed-Stuy
Ironically, a few months into the production, Terrence lost another friend. This time, Timothy Stansbury who was his best friend from elementary school, was shot and killed by a police officer right in front of Terrence's face. Terrence, Timothy and another friend were approaching the rooftop door of Terrence's building when they were met by a bullet fired by Officer Richard Neri who was on a regular rooftop patrol. The three fell down flights of stairs in a spray of Timothy's blood
Terrence was severely scarred by this incident and the Bed-Stuy residents were outraged by the killing of an innocent teen. However, the Grand Jury decided that the shooting was a tragic accident and no indictment was issued against the officer. Terrence and his friends were furious. Uncontrollable anger and pain were eating Terrence alive. But instead of retaliating or starting a riot, Terrence and his friends took the path of organizing protests and creating tribute music for Timothy so that their story will spread to the world outside of Bed-Stuy
