This is the documentary I was shooting when the prostitute was picked up on the corner of the high school.

1. The young man was quite articulate

Thanks for sharing this video. The young man's attitude about not fearing and deciding not to go into a life of drug-induced oblivion and despair was commendable. My question is, are there more like him? Can they be organized into a political force to take back the neighborhood? For any change coming to Camden must come from within. Those houses that are boarded up could be changed into homes for families that need a home, or community centers to provide services for the elderly, the young, the disabled. And there could be clinics to help the drug addicts--for drug addiction, when looked at as a medical problem, can be treated and in many cases controlled.
