  • I recently visited America and went to the most dangerous unique hoods in New York City, where Wooo gang was birthed - Brownsville, Brooklyn. In this eye-opening documentary, we'll go beyond the headlines to uncover the stories of these communities and the dedicated individuals working to create positive change and avoid tough and dangerous prison to dangerous city like chicago. From meeting gang member to rappers, towns where murders are a common thing. While these neighbourhoods have faced their own set of challenges, the people here are resilient, and their sense of community is truly inspiring. Our mission is to showcase the real stories, the everyday heroes, and the efforts being made to enhance these areas. If you've been inspired by creators like Tommy G and Hoodvlogs, who have shone a light on community stories, you won't want - miss this exploration of Hunts Point and Fort Greene.
    Be sure to check out our previous educational documentary on New Orleans, "The Murder Capital of America," as we delve deeper into the causes and solutions surrounding crime in America.

    I was raised next to Brownsville in the 80s and early 90s!!! East NY, Brooklyn!! That whole area was like a war zone!! Everyday shoot outs and deceased body everywhere!! Crack cocaine on its heights!! Drug dealers fighting for turf!! And people dying of AIDS and overdose!! It’s was a time as a teenager that almost had me traumatize!! My parents save my life by us moving to Long Island, NY!! Truly crazy times!!

    I live in Philly now but I was born and raised in Van Dyke houses and for most of my life, Brownsville was a warzone but I didn't quite realize that until I moved away. It's dangerous for most but if you are from there, it's home and it's beautiful. There were times when we beefed with Brownsville Houses and they're across the street smh. The youngins were able to calm that down and somewhat unify the area. I love Brownsville with every ounce of my being and thank God for the lessons I learned from my upbringing there.

    They're proud about spending all that money buying somebody else's weed when they could be growing their own and growing stuff probably at least that good OR better and saving their money. Anybody reading this that smokes weed or eats it or enjoys it in any way please remember it is very easy to grow and very worth doing it get some good seeds and just grow some. Especially outside even off one plant it is very easy to get enough for the whole year. I even helped a blind guy set up his own grow. So literally even if you're living in a tiny shoebox apartment you can still grow a couple plants or if you're living on 20 acres you can easily grow too, and so much more rewarding when you're smoking your own. Remember make seeds if you can also because once dry and put in an airtight container they can last almost forever. And then your biggest problem will be deciding what to grow next because you have over 70 types of fire in different seed strains. Grow the sacred HERBS

    It seems to be a thing now for foreign CZcamsrs to come to American inner cities and act like wildlife commentators. Is Brownsville bad? Relatively speaking, yes, but it's bad for the people there who are involved in crime. It's better for those who are not living an illegal lifestyle but, sadly, when enough people around you are criminals it does negatively impact your quality of life. The people who it isn't bad for is visitors so long as they don't do anything stupid, especially at night.

      Not sure why people keep equating the Southside with the ghetto. There's vast ghettoes and there's also middle to upper middle class areas as well...
      It's the largest area geographically in Chicago.
