The Boys of Baraka [AUGUST 2009]

This is the story of twenty children society has given up on, yet who refuse to give up on themselves. Twenty ‘at-risk’ 12-year-old boys from the tough streets of inner-city Baltimore travel to Kenya to attend an experimental boarding school located in Baraka. In the face of discipline and academic rigor, as well as safety they have never known before, for the first time they begin to plan optimistically for their own futures… despite the tremendous obstacles they face at home. The film, which captures their amazing journey to Africa as well as their return to Baltimore, shows how the boys fare when they are forced to return the difficult realities of their city.
