CBC Fifth Estate : Lost In The Struggle
Friday October 6 at 10pm ET/PT on CBC Newsworld. For almost a year, three young men who grew up on the rough streets of the Jane and Finch area of Toronto, gave Gillian Findlay and the fifth estate unprecedented access to the complexities that make up their neighbourhood and their world. For these three friends--Chuckie, Burnz and Freshy--the Jane and Finch area is a tough world to navigate, an even tougher one to escape. It is a story that will resonate in cities across the country. Repeats CBC Newsworld (Cable 26) October 6 at 10pm ET October 7 at 4am ET & 3pm ET October 8 at 5pm ET October 9 at 5pm ET October 10 at 4am.

One of my friends used to live in the Jane n Finch area in the 80s and he said crime was so apparent everyday. He used to live in a house and right across the street was an aprtment building so everyone used to look down from the balcony. Back then skateboards were becoming real popular he said and this one notorious neighbourhood petty theif must've saw my bud's skateboard in the backyard. So one day in broad daylight they watched from him inside hop over the fence and steal the board...problem was the board had a broken wheel...he must've tried riding away with it and fell off or something..he was so pissed he chucked the board back at one of the windows...thing was this thief was only 10 years old!! Imagine what they are doing now!

yea
Freshy is also a rapper from Jane-Finch
Burnz was a friend of Chuckie and also a producer but now, they dont talk due to "money problems."
