Summary:

Eleven years in the making, In the Red is a feature documentary about growing up poor in one of the wealthiest areas in the United States and getting into trouble early on. Some find their way to a free program in Oakland, California that offers a lifeline — rigorous training to become firefighters and first responders. But the streets keep calling. What makes one kid heed that call and another ignore it? Raw, intimate, and at times funny, the film follows the lives of six young people for more than a decade. Not everyone succeeds. But for those who do, their lives are forever changed. From juvenile detention centers for armed robberies to driving fire engines and helping people in need, In the Red is a film about the transformative power of altruistic mentorship and genuine care.
