The Boys of Baraka reveals the human faces of a tragic statistic – 61 percent of Baltimore's African-American boys fail to graduate from high school; 50 percent of them go straight on to jail. Behind these figures lies the grimmer realities of streets ruled by drug dealers, families fractured by addiction and prison and a public school system seemingly surrendered to uncontrolable chaos. As simply portrayed in Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady's award-winning documentary, which has its national broadcast premiere on public television's POV, a generation of inner-city children faces dilemmas that would undo most adults. In this case, they are told early on that they face three stark "dress" options by their 18th birthdays – prison orange, a suit in a box, or a high school cap and gown.
