Wasp (2003)
overview
Wasp was an alright film that complimented on the hardships of being a poor single mother with many kids and no direction in life. It seemed like the single mother cared for her kids but she was still young and you could tell that she wasn't yet ready to let go of her life before the kids. She would go places like bars and leave her kids outside of the bar unattended because she had nobody else to take care of them. she would really on her 8 year old to take care of her baby while she was partying. The over all life style of this mother and her children was just disgusting and was not good at all for kids to grow up in. It was better off for their kids to get taken away from her than for her to keep them because she would probably end up killing them.
The Boys of Baraka (2005)
great film
The Boys of Baraka was basically a big cry for help for these boys in Baltimore. It displayed their everyday struggles from school to just being able to be a kid. These boys are growing up around violence and drugs and if something didn't take place to help guide them down a path were they were not exposed to these lifestyles then sooner or later when they got older they would start roaming the streets and most likely wind up in prison. There was hope for a select number of boys who were chosen to attend a school of higher education in Africa. After only a year unfortunately the school got closed down due to terrorists threats in Africa. Now the boys had no choice but to go back to the school in which there was no future for them. I believe this film was made to show us how badly these boys have it and if things don't change soon for these kids they will just be another person forced to be on the street selling because they have no other way to get by.
