Description

Lawrence was sentenced to life in prison. He owned and drove the car sighted in a gang-related killing. As a leader in a bloody feud with a rival gang, Lawrence had, for some time, terrorized Los Angeles' neighborhoods. Before his arrest, he sensed his days on the streets were numbered; as a financial precaution for his absence, Lawrence purchased for his infant son, sums of clothes sized a few times too big. Lawrence's intuition was correct, he was to leave the streets, yet Lawrence could not have mentally conceived the true transition that lay ahead. Lawrence was on his way to becoming Lauren, a transgender woman of color.'From Hood to Heels' is the unbelievable true story of a child raised in violent circumstances who became the epitome of extreme violence while at the same time holding tight an inner secret of female identity.'From Hood to Heels' presents two stories in one: first, the personal experience of a child born in violent circumstances; you will come to know the world of drug dealing, gangs, and violence.
