Guests:

Qiuana Williams - Director for the documentary and her son, Shawn Reynolds, was a victim of gun violence.

Cornelius Wills - Cornelius, an inactive member of the Bounty Hunter Bloods, who shares his journey from gang violence to becoming a community advocate.

Tim Pearce - Tim is a former LAPD gang officer who dedicated his career to patrolling high-risk areas such as Watts.

 

Topics:

  • The Story Behind the Story — How individual lives ripple outward, leaving marks on families, neighborhoods, and entire communities.
  • Impact Beyond Borders — When the story can’t be contained, echoing across cities, countries, and shared human experience.
  • Colliding Narratives — Black and white. Law and lawless. Cop and criminal.
  • Truth vs. Portrayal — The uncomfortable reality: what we’ve been shown isn’t the full picture. The real story lives in the spaces that movies and media rarely capture.
