FifthWard The Movie

Features scenes filmed at Fire Station #19

DVD Description
 
Inspired by his own experiences growing up in Houston's Fifth Ward, Carter's
directorial debut weaves together several stories to present an honest,
slightly unconventional view of life in the inner-city. At the film's center
is James, a good kid struggling to navigate the complexities of life on the
streets. His world shatters when his older brother Rayray is gunned down in
a gang-related drug robbery. Now Bam, the gang's leader, wants to initiate
James, his younger brother Lil'T and best friend Rip into the thug
life--seducing them with promises of money, respect and protection. To
further complicate matters, James's interracial relationship with Haan, the
daughter of a local shop keep, is exposing ugly tensions within the
neighborhood, threatening to tear them apart. With temptation and chaos
abound, life's a daily struggle in the Fifth Ward.
