"Tears in the Bayou" is a gripping and eye-opening documentary that delves into the heart of Houston, Texas, unmasking the turmoil within the city's inner core. While Houston boasts an impressive reputation, home to countless Fortune 500 companies, the film uncovers a darker reality-a city grappling with an alarming surge in its murder rate.
Through poignant and unfiltered real-life accounts, the documentary introduces us to resilient individuals who have survived life-threatening incidents, bearing lifelong physical and emotional scars. We bear witness to the heart-wrenching narratives of parents who have lost their beloved children to the ruthless clutches of gun violence-over 4,194 lives tragically cut short in the last 15 years alone.
As the film paints a vivid portrait of their day-to-day struggles, we witness the profound transformation these broken families undergo after such devastating loss. Houston, plagued by relentless shootings spanning back to the 1980s, stands at a crossroads: can it find hope amidst this turmoil? Or will the tears shed by shattered families merely dissolve into the vastness of the bayou, forgotten and unaddressed?
"Tears in the Bayou" stands as an urgent call to confront the underlying issues plaguing one of America's greatest cities. In the face of adversity, it challenges us to question our collective responsibility and explore the possibility of finding solace and redemption in a city long haunted by violence. This documentary beckons us to contemplate whether Houston's heartache can pave the way for a hopeful tomorrow, or if it will continue to bear the weight of countless shattered dreams.

I watch all kinds of documentaries. The ones with money......big productions, professional narrators, music etc. Without all that, this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen of our people. Hands down You let the people talk. Let them express their reality. Crisp audio and visual. Well researched with no annoying loud, dramatic and distracting music. Well done.

I appreciate this documentary and this needs to be seen by everyone that's a minority or from a bad or impoverish area. This is real, and though this wasn't my reality growing up, an I cried alot watching this. It was such a reality pill to swallow I kept having to pull away from it. Great job to the creators and for showing everyone the raw Truth, society would say shame on these black people for this killing robbing and hang banging, but my I was in grief because they won't understand this has become a way of life, and everyone would have an opinion without understanding, what would you do, when you grow up living and seeing this all your life, ans on top of it being in poverty, how do you stop it, especially when nobody would take the time to redirect or grab one by the hand and pull them up, I had no idea it was the bad. And my.heart goes out, I want better for my brothers and def can't stand the Killing of one another or the idea you have to live ready to die, or kill to survive. Tears fill my eyes at the idea. And that the fact there is no change or relief for them no help, and no way to change it, this is almost more deviating as watching what's going on in the Ukraine right now, they deserve better. And so do these brothers that are just trying to live in a world where it's get or be got!

Born & raised in Houston. Dropped outta HS in 10th grade. Served in the Marines and Army for 11 years. Now I’m a ER nurse here. Please stop shooting each other. Edit: One year later and seeing this for the first time. Thanks for the likes. I love Houston. I was born and raised in Alief. To those people doubting me, I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1998. I dropped out of HS in the 10th grade. I went to Tomball junior college. It’s called Lonestar College now. The Marine Corps accepted my GED plus 15 college credits. I have the DD214’s and the medals to prove it. I’m not saying this to convince the people who think they know the military or my story. I’m saying this because I want young men and women to know that they can still make it if they don’t finish HS. It will be hard, but you can do it. God bless. Semper Fi.

@loveandfaithfulness4479
@loveandfaithfulness4479 4 года назад
Galatians 5:13-26, My brothers and sisters, you were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other."

If you really want things to change, as sad as it is to say, activists need to address this first and foremost before we try and fix anything else. The only way to get regular people to want to help is by addressing their wallets. The drain that street violence weighs on our tax dollars enormous, hospital bills, nobody has insurance, everybody who isn't selling drugs is on government benefits, lack of community owned busniesses. If we can fix the hoods, we can fix America.

The statements about not having jobs available is BS. I served 15 years(17-32 years old) in the South Carolina Department of Corrections. When I was released, I moved back home to Ca and then migrated to Houston. At first lived in North Borough Woods Apt(Greenspoint}, and I was working at the Greenspoint Marriott. From there I worked my way to supervisor and saved money. My spouse at the time and I were rearing our newborn. I worked at the Tubular Steel in Katy and went on to make enough to where we ended up buying a home in The Woodlands TX. Success is a mentality. I have since moved back to San Diego and I am a Pastor who works to change the community. I don't get paid because God called me to do this assignment. My point being, Success is a mind frame. You MUST CHOOSE TO LIVE!!!

Right here in the great USA I just watch a video's of people that grew up in the USA when they were kids got into trouble there whole live's them went to prison when they got realised straight to the air port and deported back to the country they were born from. What I saw was all bad they didn't fit in a few were sent back to Tonga island stuck living in a hut it brought them back to reality with nothing. The other guy got deported to deep in El Salvador where he got killed two months after he got deported. You can watch the video's on RU-vid. Stay blessed and keep on working hope nothing but the best for you and your family.

This epidemic is happening in every city across the country. My son was shot and killed 2 1/2 years ago. Not gang related, not drug related. He was set up by people he thought cared about him I think. Trial for the shooter is coming up so I don’t say much about it. Our young men. Our sons, dying and going to prison. I feel every word these families said. The agony is beyond words. His girlfriend called me and my younger son and I went over there to an empty block just to find him unconscious and bleeding. I’ve felt despair, rage, unforgiveness, loneliness, flashbacks, insomnia…it goes on. I hope these people are ready for the consequences of murder. They’re not! They get arrested and worry more about their not guilty pleas. They don’t have guns in prison. It’s heartbreaking. You can grow up in a neighborhood and still make it. We have a choice. They made the wrong choice! Clout chasing! My son and all of these people are gone for nothing! Pray for this lost generation!

Just because you're from the "hood", it doesn't define who you are nor does it determine your destiny. YOU define who you are and where YOU go. It's not where you come from but where you're going. May their souls rest in peace. My condolences to all of the families who lost someone to gun violence. Guns don't kill people,: hatred, lack of self love, lack of guidance, lack of education, lack of discipline and lack of respect kill people.

The problem is us, I grew up DIRT POOR, never thought of robbing or stealing, went to bed hungry many of nights as a child. I started working at the age of 9, delivering store flyers or returning bottles for money. No father, family on WELFARE. I always worked, and stay out of trouble. It's about the choices in life that you make. I could have join a gang and sold drugs, like some of my friends. I chose another way, kept PRAYING to GOD to help guide me to a BETTER WAY. The first time I PRAY TO GOD, TO NEVER LET ME GO TO BED HUNGRY AGAIN, that was the last time in my life, that I went to bed hungry. As a married father of one, there was a time when my whole house was unemployed, my wife and I, my son and the CAT were all unemployed.

After he and his other friend was shot in the back seat of the vehicle, the driver of the vehicle drove him and the other friend to the fire station and dumped them and drove off, my nephew did not survive.

While growing up my folks had their own struggles ... we were poor like most of us in the flyover states, but I knew I was I safe to go outside & ride my bike. I believe so many people in this country have a strong opinion on shit they have NO idea about. They have NEVER lived in these kinda neighborhoods. This is like the 8th or 9th doc in the last 3 days....so thank you for putting this out. Maybe more people like me who don’t know will take a minute learn & try to understand rather than judge & honestly slander these young folks with no education as to how this could happen. We need BIG changes in this country. As a white woman with a mixed child who raised by parents who taught me to love everyone & accept anyone who loves you back, I pray more people will start reaching out across these lines that have drawn for us & say NO MORE! NOT TODAY! Help each other & love Thy neighbor. NEVER stop educating yourself ... that is where the understanding & change will come from. Peace to these families & the friends. Thank you.

These stories, listening to friends & family members talk about their loved ones was not only heart wrenching but seeing these folks through their eyes really slammed the tragedy home. Listening to the moms made me grateful that both my children are safe & still with me. The survivors of shootings telling their stories was sobering. My heart goes out to each friend & family member; I will be praying for Houston. Thank you for sharing your stories, your tragedy & heartbreak.

Sounds crazy but indigenous person have got to work together. African people are by nature communal. When their atmosphere is perverted with this industrial worldly substance and the resource and abilities to gain those substances are limited, then what you get is this world of chaos. It's time to study indigenous living. The industrious living doesn't work for impoverished people. Either go to school or grab a tool...whatever the case, it's insane to think there is anyway to not have casualties in the inner cities.

Yes, these are small channels, but since there's so many of them, RU-vid will still make a huge profit off of this new policy. I don't care if RU-vid hates us now, it must be said by someone.

This was so well done, but so painful to watch. My heart hurts for these lost lives- these shattered families.. I cried with these injured and deceased’s loved ones- especially the Mothers. I struggle to find the words to describe my pain. My precious child was murdered in a family community park on a sunny Thursday afternoon just a few miles from our home. I never even imagined my life without him. We didn’t know this guy- we had no problems with anyone. He just wanted to take a life- “catch a body”. That murderer killed my whole family that day. And for what? So he could brag about it on SC. I will never understand this. The loved ones- the ones who have lost their son, bro, classmate, sister, cousin, neighbor, friend… they are the brave victims, and I admire them for sharing their pain in this documentary. It’s so poignant, and powerful. Thank you, and May God bless you and yours richly.

Being a sociology major and a criminology minor from Atlanta, this documentary was interesting to see. It was also heartbreaking. It's a sad reality out here in many of America's inner cities. Violence is never that far away in these neighborhoods. I do find it interesting however that there were comments about gangs contributing to the violence nowadays and how back in the day, there weren't any gangs in Houston. Though one murder is one too many, the homicide rate has dropped significantly in Houston and in many other cities around the country compared to their peak in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. I read that Houston peaked at about 700 homicides back in 1981 which is literally double the amount of what it tends to get today. I hope that the homicides and violent crime continue to decrease. Houston is a great city and doesn't deserve to have this level of violence. The parents, family, friends, and loved ones of those killed don't deserve to experience their pain either...

I just think that this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the many great contributions of the African American community and their culture to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real Estate values are fueled by the influx of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nurturing of these communities, an example of all they have acheived by their enthusiasm for self-improvement through hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive we would be poorer as a nation.

When ppl see a family eating, they don’t see the struggle, hard work & sacrifice that produced that food. They just see the reward of hard work. The formula for survival is the same for most of us. It’s irksome to here that “if your eating & I’m not.....) bs because the majority of us struggle to have the things we have. The guy in this film said “they catch felonies” like it’s a cold or they’re victims of the felony. I wanted more than my parents & the ppl in my neighborhood so I studied, worked 2 jobs, went to school & slept 5 hrs a day for 5 yrs. 5 yrs is all it takes! If I can do it, anyone can. They just have to want it. If I sold drugs, the end game wouldn’t be “being a drug dealer”. They’re in love with that fast money without work effort but the trade is the high risks of jail & death. Gansta Rap/gun culture is the tool that a portion of our ppl use to commit self genocide. If we want others to respect us, we have to respect ourselves. What good are Jordan’s, chains & cars when your soul is lost?

I'm from STL, and the murder rate here is staggering as well. it's been almost 20 years since I permanently left the hood for the burbs; not to be insensitive to others, but I feel blessed and fortunate for that opportunity. I just could not imagine putting the people who care for me through that much pain.

There are many very good people in this video who are a victom of their environment. They need to relocate to a more productive environment. I grew up poor in the Delta Region of Arkansas with little in life to look forward to each day. After I graduated High School back in 1979, I went to work for the next 2 years. They were mostly crappy jobs. I worked at a Car Dealership detailing cars, then I worked at a Full-Service Gulf Service Station for over a year, then worked at a Glass Jar Producing Factory and finally, I worked a few months on Second Shift at a Greeting Card Factory. Then, one night after work, I decided I needed a life-changing environment where at least there was some hope of a better life. So, I joined the U.S. Air Force in Feburary 1982. I made a 20 year career of it and retired in March 2002. Without doubt, this was the best thing to occur in my life. Now, I'm completely retired with a well-earned pension, I have two B.S. degrees and I'm finacially stable. I own my home and vehicles and owe no one money. The only bills I have are monthly utilities. I know some will say, "There is no way out". But really, there is a way out, but the person must want it and sacrifice to get ahead in life. When I joined the military, I had to give up my friends, family, home environment, basically everything. Had I not decided to change my life in such a radical way, I'm sure I would be dead. So many of my close friends died while I was serving on Active Duty. Not any were killed by guns, but rather, drugs, alcohol, over-dose, vehicle crashes and suicide. So far, I've made it to 59 years old. I'm just trying to show others there is a way to change your life, but you must be willing to make heavy sacrifices to see your dream, whatever that dream is in this world.
