 Narrated by Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham, A GANG FOR GOOD looks at the last self-governing "junior republic" in this country. The 6 to 18 year old citizens of the Boys Brotherhood Republic (BBR) elect their own mayor and city council, and administer their own police and court systems. Located on New York s Lower East Side, one of America s toughest neighborhoods, these youngsters learn self-esteem and discipline while they campaign for office and vote, legislate and enforce their own laws. Centered around a mayoral race, the film introduces these young people and their families and demonstrates the positive impact the BBR - currently facing extinction - has had on their lives. A GANG FOR GOOD is an eye-opening introduction to the potential of the junior republics to deal with the problems today s children face growing up in a violent society.
