The Backyard Philly Project

The Backyard Philly Project is a documentary focusing on 4 teens growing up in Penn Town, a rough Philadelphia inner-city community. All the teens were given a camera to film their lives from their own perspectives, giving folks a rarely seen peek into the inner city life.
The film is both inspirational and gut-wrenching as you see the teens struggle to overcome adversity and not fall into the cycle of drugs and violence that surrounds them when they graduate from high school.
