The gang grew stronger through recruiting the young; grooming them to be foot soldiers for their cause. The gang has spread throughout the U.S. and is becoming international. This film has enlightened me on the dangers of the gang. I never knew what MS 13 was, but I have seen graffiti on trains and in the Pittsburgh area. It has become a reality check of my
