If Only We Could Brandon O'neal

Kelly Childs and his best friend, Percy "Ziggy" Atkins are both 20-year-old African-American males who grew up together running the streets of California's Inland Empire. After a series of setbacks, they realize some serious plans need to be made, and accomplished, if they are to ever escape the vicious cycle of hopelessness around them. There's only one problem: Their ideas on how to make it in life take two different paths, thus brewing a division in their brother-like friendship. If Only We Could portrays the dreams, struggles, and paradoxes of trying to survive as an urban youth.
