On the Front Line: Gangs, Guns & Violence

In California's Central Valley, street gang violence has reached a boiling point for many communities. This exclusive local documentary takes a behind-the-scenes look at the tremendous challenge facing law enforcement agencies already stretched thin by the state's budget crisis. The film's gripping 9-1-1 calls and candid interviews with an ex-gang member in Modesto and a grieving mother brings to life the grim reality of street gang life.
