The Road to Change is a documentary that focuses on the many issues, problems & solutions  in the Virgin Islands, the Caribbean and around the world.  After the success of our first documentary "Gangs In Paradise", which focused on the gang issues & activities that plague the entire Caribbean, we have decided that there is a need to bring to light the reasons a community becomes an underserved community, the effects that has on the community and possible solutions that target specific issues.  In this documentary you will hear from program developers, community activist, Intervention counselors, and from the youth within the community. 

Reasons for documentary

I moved here to the US  Virgin Islands 10 years ago and almost immediately realized that a large part of the community was extremely under served.  Many of the people in that situation WERE stuck in a cycle that they couldn’t get out of and could see no apparent end to the hopelessness.  I decided to get more involved in the community in hopes to identify the issues and help find some solutions.  To my surprise, I found out that the islands had 11 different gangs among a population of just over 108 thousand and the crime and death rate put the islands at number 2 per capita.  Something had to be done, so I decided to produce a documentary that would explore the activity of gangs, why the kids on the island feel the need to join a gang and how living in a underserved community helped make joining a gang… to them… a viable solution.  The documentary "Gangs In paradise" was a huge success but focused more on the gang issues and the effects that seemed to mirror the Caribbean.  Now we want to produce a second documentary that focuses on reasons and possible solutions.  To do this we need your help.
