Bilal's Stand Home
http://bilalsstand.com/
Bilal – a Muslim high school senior in Detroit – works long hours to keep up both his grades and his family’s long-owned taxi stand. “The Stand” has been the family’s social and financial hub for sixty years, and now Bilal is destined to carry the torch. Yet despite a series of setbacks at home, Bilal secretly submits a college application and takes up ice carving in order to win a scholarship. Now he is forced to decide whether to continue running The Stand – the only life he has ever known – or take a chance at social mobility.
Based on a true story, Bilal’s Stand radiates warmth, humor, and originality. In depicting a struggle that is all too common today, the film captures the emotion and authenticity on issues rarely brought together on screen.

GLORY TO GOD! I just watched this movie! It appears to have been a true story, but, even if the characters and story are fictional, the message of redemption, forgiveness, and the grace of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST is real!
Caged Animal (2010)
"The Wrath of Cain" (original title)
Former street kingpin Miles “Cain” Skinner (Ving Rhames) is doing life in prison. He is feared, yet respected among his fellow inmates, and when Cain’s nemesis, Redfoot (Robert LaSardo), is transferred to the same prison, his violent wrath is unleashed in a brutal showdown. Meanwhile, Cain’s son, Ricky Skinner (Nipsey Hussle), is a drug-slinging hustler who now finds himself in the same jail as his father, but wants nothing to do with him. As Cain struggles to gain his son’s trust while trying to protect him from another inmate, JD Parker, a past relationship resurfaces and Cain makes a shocking discovery about him. Cain soon learns that his time in the joint will be shortened only by brain cancer and his urgency to change his ways goes into overdrive. Warden Dean (Robert Patrick) is the only man that can help Cain with the redemption he seeks, but it will come with a price. Now Cain finds himself in the fight of his life to not only save his son Ricky, but to save the two feuding brothers from each other. As Ricky and JD’s warfare culminates in a final battle to the death, Cain has only one chance to finally put an end to this vicious cycle of violence.
