The Boys of 2nd Street Park (2003)
Touching Documentary focusing on the lives of men who grew up in a predominantly Jewish, working class area of Brooklyn

This film beautifully touches on the lives of boys growing up in Brooklyn, the ways their lives continue to intertwine through their twenties, and the different turns their lives have taken. By the end of the film, you feel like you know the characters personally. The film progresses from high school kids playing their playoff basketball game in scary Boys' H.S., to the different stances the young men took on Vietnam, to continued drug use, to marriage and family. Boys of 2nd Street Park takes viewers back to a time when boys had real nicknames("Cuda" and "Bass"), and the neighborhood park was a place to bond and imagine. A wonderful yet tragic film with a beautiful culmination.
