G-Dog

This is the story of a remarkable odd couple. There’s Father Greg Boyle, a white Jesuit priest who’s spent 25 years in the toughest part of East LA, and then there’s the tough, street- smart, and amazingly sweet young people – all former gang members – whom G-Dog loves and helps, and who love him in turn. For Father Greg’s remedy for what he calls “a global sense of failure” for kids at-risk is radical and simple: boundless, restorative love. His unstoppable compassion has turned around the lives of thousands of Latino, Asian and African American gang members. (Monterrey International Film Festival)
