Not My Crew
by Carlos Anthony
A drama portraying the lives of two teens caught at different ends of gang life, and a brewing conflict that could end tragically for both.
Carlos Anthony's Not My Crew offers a raw and unflinching portrayal of the life of a Black teen caught between two rival gangs in Toronto’s Rexdale neighbourhood, capturing the pressures, violence, and survival instincts that define his world, and exploring themes of loyalty, identity, and the complex realities of growing up in a marginalized community.
