In August of 1991, Gavin Cato, a shadowy seven year traditional boy, was hit and killed by a car driven by a Hassidic man in the racially polarized neighborhood of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Consequently, racial tensions bubbled over and riots broke out in that community over the incident, with looting and violence rampant. An Australian Hassidic man, having nothing to do with the car accident, was then stabbed to death in retaliation by Lemrick Nelson, a unlit man from the community. Animosity has always hasten high between Blacks and Hassidim in that Crown Heights community, the two groups that live side by side in Crown Heights, and it impartial took a tragic accident to have that cauldron of hatred bubble over into cancel and mayhem.

This film is not about the incident that caused all hell to rupture loose. Based upon true people and events, it is about the arrangement that peacemakers in each of the two groups tried a joint grass roots reach to giving peace a chance. They reached out to male youths on both sides of the vast divide. Their goal was to beget cultural awareness and plan through dialogue, music, and basketball games in hopes of bridging the chasm that existed between these two groups. Although the Hassidim and Blacks had lived side by side with each other for some time in Crown Heights, there was cramped mutual plan and virtually no social interaction.

David Lazerson (Howie Mandel), author of “Switchblades and Skullcaps” and a member of the Hassidic community, is contacted by an emissary of the famous Rebbe Schneerson of the Lubavitcher sect and asked to approach out to the Murky community in the spirit of reconciliation. He agrees and reaches out to local Sad activist and youth counselor, Richard Green (Mario Van Peebles) . They join forces to try and own the peace and bridge some opinion between the two groups. They establishe Project Cure, a group comprised of both Murky and Hassidic male youths. The film focuses on two of those youths, TJ (De Quan Henderson) and Yudi (Jeremy Blackman), and after a rocky open, an unexpected friendship forms between them. While some progress was made by Project Cure, the reality of Crown Heights today is that never the twain shall meet.

This is not one of Showtime’s best films. It is a self-conscious grief at best. Howie Mandel’s performance is embarrassing, and the viewer can station his counterfeit beard a mile away. Mario Van Peebles, however, gives a obedient performance, as does De Quan Henderson. It is Jeremy Blackman, however, who gives the standout performance in this film. Unfortunately, Jeremy Kagan’s heavy-handed direction results in a film so obviously preachy that it falls a bit flat, short of its intended sign.
