THE FRONT ROW COALITION
presents two short films
of interest to at-risk youth
and those who care for them
The Front Row
“The Front Row” is an anti- gun violence video created by people who have seen too many lives lost to gun violence. We want it to be shown in as many places as possible, reaching at risk lives and making a positive difference in their futures.
The video presents this basic message – You have three front rows to offer your family:
- the front row of your trial,
- the front row of your funeral, or
- the front row of your graduation
Which row will you choose?
Creating Hope
“Creating Hope” – a sequel to “The Front Row” – is a dynamic short film about people growing up in the city who have struggled and overcome major obstacles to reach their goals and dreams.
Their stories will encourage youth who are facing similar challenges to press on, get help, complete school, and reach beyond to a place of success – a place where they can give back.
Will you seek a place of success?
