BABY is
the tragic tale of an Asian youth trapped in
the seedy world of the hostess bars, pool
halls and drug dens that characterize East
LA gang life. Baby is a motherless
11-year-old with only an alcoholic father to
raise him. His troubles multiply when he is
taken under the wing of his gangster
neighbour, Tommy, who leads him down a path
that lands him in Juvenile Hall for
manslaughter. After seven violent,
terrifying years in prison, Baby is
ill-equipped to re-enter society and soon
returns to a life of gangbanging and murder.
Only his childhood friends, Fat Petey and
Sammy, offer him any hope of turning his
life around before it's too late. BABY
features a case of over two hundred Asian
American actors and extras, creating a great
opportunity for many of them demonstrate the
range of their talents in the kinds of roles
for which they are usually passed over.
