The William H. Shannon Chair in Catholic Studies presents: Father G and the Homeboys
Father G and the Homeboys is the original documentary about one of L.A.’s greatest hometown heroes, Fr. Greg Boyle, and powerfully chronicles his transformative work with the toughest of gang members. Directors John Bohm and Pete Tapia weave the story of “Father G” with the lives of four gang-members who are followed for 3 years as they struggle to leave violent pasts and embrace hope with jobs through Fr. Boyle’s visionary and nationally lauded “Homeboy Industries”. Fr. G helps kids plan for their futures instead of their funerals.
Father G and the Homeboys, a documentary about Boyle's transformative work with tough gang members, will be shown on campus twice in February. Boyle is giving two different talks on campus in March. See more about the Boyle events at Nazareth.
