Crowdfund This: Documentary About Black Gay Gang Struggling to Survive in Rough DC Neighborhood

Steve Buscemi has put his producer muscle behind a new documentary titled "Check It," which follows a group of routinely harassed DC teens who, out of necessity (essentially, to protect themselves), started what the film claims is the only documented all-gay and transgender gang in the USA.
