Yet sometimes it is the success story that inspires other young people, and encourages community leaders to keep working for change. The tenth documentary in the "Portrayal & Perception" series showcasing positive role models among African American males focuses on teenagers excelling in school, volunteering as mentors and working hard to make a difference among their peers.
