"Ghetto Life 101" is a 30 minute radio broadcast documentary produced by David Isay for the public radio.

Overview

The aim of the documentary was to show what life was like living in the South Side of Chicago in 1993. The broadcast footage was done by LeAlan Jones and Lloyd Newman, who at the time were thirteen and fourteen, respectively. The broadcast centered around interviews with the boys family, friends, and members of the community, as well as raw footage from the boys' lives. It was a very touching story to hear and should be heard by all Chicago citizens, as it demonstrates the side of Chicago that is ignored by most of the city.
