"Joey" is an intimate and vivid portrayal of the lives of children growing up amid gangs and violence in South Los Angeles. Children who live in neighborhoods which do not allow them to enjoy the simple liberties of life which we all take for granted like going to church and coming home safely. On Sunday morning, March 23, 2003, right before Joey left for church, he told his mother "I should be safe at church". "Joey" revolves around the shooting of Joseph Swift and his family and friends who are in a constant struggle with gangs. "Joey" puts a human face on a growing problem.
