I too work with teens and would like to know how to obtain this dvd Bastards of the Party
ROSALIE WILSON on March 13th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
I came upon this blog by accident, even though I don’t believe they (accidents) exist, and I wanted to let anyone who has not yet seen this masterpiece, “Bastards of the Party, it will be showing later this month on HBO.
I checked before sending this, and the times are as follows:
1) Sunday, 3/25/07-7:15 PM – HBO2 (channel 502/DIRECTV)
2) Sunday, 3/25/07 – 10:15 PM -HB2W (HBO2W channel 505/DIRECTV)
These are the only showings my guide had for this month. For those who have cable, you might want to check that guide for HBO programming.
I, also, “backed this up” to Tivo, and have the ability to download it onto my DVD player, that records. I have just moved and my system is setup a little differently, but I am planning on having someone assist me with this by the beginning of next week, hopefully sooner, and would be pleased to make copies of this on DVD.
I’m not certain if there are restrictions, with respect to doing this. These would be given to anyone interested, and considering that Tivo and DVD players that record have been made available, so we are able to see films at a later date, or create a private library, I cannot imagine there would be any harm in doing this.
I can’t imagine a more rewarding experience than sharing this extraordinary film with a group, or groups of teenagers. The message is so important. When I first watched “Bastards of the Party,” my immediate reaction was that it should be mandatory viewing in every school, and home for the youth who need to learn and the adults who need to remember.
God Bless and Peace,
Rosalie Wilson

tom on May 9th, 2007 at 8:21 pm
I started watching the show and couldnt stop. I am a 50 year old white male who has never been close to inner city life. The only thing I knew about gang life is what I saw on tv or read in the paper. Its hard for me to put it in words, butI look at it a little bit different now.Mr sloan I hope you find peace and happiness in life. Also I would like to know the name of the song at the end of the show. please e-mail if you know.

Ms. Wilson or whom it may concern:
I used to be a Bloods gang member in high school until my close friend was shot and paralyzed. Recently i found out that my younger cousin has been hangin around with gang members, but that’s how it is here in LA. I’d like to receive a copy of the DVD, also.I know my cousin would be interested in it and hopefully it will inspire him to do somethin positive because he thinks i’m a hipocrite when i try to tell him. e-mail: thesaint5378@hotmail.com, peace and god bless
John on November 26th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
I’m trying to get a copy of “Bastards of the Party” for a friend of mine in London. He is working with a group of young people in an area where gangs are starting to be a real problem and there have been a number of gang related murders recently. There is a great interest there in what is happening in the US.
Hollywood claims that they only serve up the crap they do because they are meeting what people want. If this is really so, then why is it that “Bastards of the Party” is not available? Talk about crime – THAT’s the real crime!
safetyman on December 10th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
its a shame they don’t want the truth to be told, people are getting sued because a few black men decide to bring the gang life to lite. i have a copy on dvd jus get with me
yvette on December 11th, 2007 at 2:36 pm

Tiffany on January 1st, 2008 at 11:21 am
I would just like to thank Mr. Sloan for wanted to actually make a difference. I just get so upset when I think of how it is for Blacks in the world. Black people are capable of doing so much in life. It is just a terrible tradegy that so many do not get that chance, whether it is lack of opportunity or circumstance.

I would like to order the DVD documentary for a class. How can I order the film?
Mary on February 13th, 2008 at 11:47 am
I just saw Bones on the Judge Hatchett show and I was in awe. How proud I am to see a strong black man give some of himself to help our young black youths to realize a better path to lead. I was in tears.
I would like to know where I can get a copy of “Bastards of the Party”? I live in a rural community and I am not sure if there are gangs but there is a problem with black youths fighting and killing each other because they attend rivarly schools and live in different communities.
May God continue to bless and keep you in his hands.
Carroll McBroom on February 23rd, 2008 at 5:29 pm
It is all by design ,our pitfalls and demise here in AMERICA.It was read by William Lynch in Virgina about how to keep the slave docile and confused, by pitting skin tones against one another young vs old ,so there is No Stregnth in Numbers,……..and so it continues……….

James Person on July 2nd, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I would also like to get a copy of the wonderful and very informative documentary.
I live in NY and will be dealing with youth in a ministry that could really use that documentary to help change the way these youths think, start a dialogue, and give them alternatives for a better life.
Can I send you some DVDs (one copy for me and you can keep the rest for yourself), pre-paid self addressed envelope? I would send u some money but I don’t want to possibly get anyone in trouble (for selling something that hbo may have a problem with).
Send me an email letting me know what to do at percy61@gmail.com
I’d really appreciate it and so would the youth who will view this powerful documentary.
Thanks Ms. Wilson

Hello, My name is Patricia and my husband is a Director at a juevenile dentention center. We saw this film a few years back, but has always had this film on my mind. The depth of information about the truth of gangs needs to be passed on for the sake of our young black men today. They don’t know this and we want to help spead this so these young men can begin to understand when they want to kill, they are killing themselves. Please, how can I get a copy?

Has anyone found a way to access or purchase Bastards of the Party? I have also been searching for the full version of Broken Child. I work with troubled youth and adults both of these documentaries would be soooo useful. Does anyone know why they are unavailable??? I have read most of these post and I would like to share that (D.C. Street Life Documentary is very good and available on youtube.
