Recovering Addicts Seek Redemption

Directed by Elizabeth Cirillo

Homeboy Industries, the world's largest gang intervention and re-entry organization, offers an unparalleled 18-month job-training program for recovering drug addicts and ex-gang members. The short documentary HOMEGIRLS intimately follows the lives of two of the programs' female participants, Maria and Joselyn, over four months as they attempt to leave the past behind and start anew.
