This program is seen through the eyes of eight Los Angeles teens; four are in gangs or involved with gang members, three are on probation for violent behavior, and all have histories of harming their peers, teachers or themselves. These young people think nothing of potentially using a gun, and have no consideration for the consequences of their violent actions.

The teens then participate in a program that brings them face-to-face with the impact on victims' lives. They see firsthand the effects of violence, tour a shelter for battered women, and even visit Columbine High School where a grieving father, brother and teacher share their heartbreaking stories of loss and anger.

After a month of learning to see violence for what it is, the teens are determined to change their lives and to help curb teen violence by reaching out to others like themselves.
