Sun shining through derelict building. Dog asleep on in the snow. Young african American boy walking through piles of snow. Elevated train line seen through alleyway. Busy city streets in under privileged New York neighborhood. Young people speak in voiceover about life on the streets. Hands counting cash. Man dancing beside burning trash cans. Two young men dance fighting. A young gang of men sit on a car. One wields a bat. Young men playing basketball on an outdoor court. African American youth riding a bicycle on the sidewalk wears a denim jacket with the words "Dirty Ones Brooklyn" emblazoned on the back. An elderly man leans out his window. Gang of young men strut down the street aggressively. They stop to dance. One gang member points at a picture of John Travolta in a store window, and then to himself.
