LeAlan Jones
LeAlan Jones views his first documentary, "Ghetto Life 101", as "a critical story detailing the resilience and hope of two African American young men finding their way through urban injustice and succeeding with optimism amongst failure." Jones was a member of an antigang group, "No Dope Express", at the time of the original taping; he went on to be the National Junior Spokesman for the group, was featured by the Chicago Defender, and lectured across the country.
Currently he is a freelance writer for "N'Digo Weekly Magapaper" in Chicago. Jones is also a football coach and mentor at his high school alma mater.
