Our first October Volunteer of the Month is Albert Macias, who has chosen John Singleton’s Boyz N the Hood as his VOTM pick.
The film follows three childhood friends, Tre Styles (Cuba Gooding Jr.), Doughboy (Ice Cube), and Ricky (Morris Chestnut), as they navigate the harsh realities of their neighborhood. While Tre is guided by his father Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne) to make responsible choices, Doughboy and Ricky face their own struggles with gang violence and broken dreams.
Receiving critical acclaim for its authentic portrayal of urban life, Boyz N the Hood is recognized as a landmark in American cinema for its social commentary and cultural impact.
