ST. LOUIS – A local filmmaker and college professor gives an up-close look at violence in a north St. Louis neighborhood with a new documentary called “Catching Bullets.”

For three years, Lindenwood professor and filmmaker Ben Scholle hit the streets with city activist Darren Seals.

"This is the type of movie that lets you see there is no reset. This life is it," Seals said.

Seals, a former drug dealer, was shot 13 times and survived. Now, he runs the Sankofa Community Center in Walnut Park, helping steer kids away from a life of crime.

"I watched a kid get killed up the street. And I kept saying what if he were somewhere else, if he had something else today. What triggered him to try and get off in a stolen car," Seals said.
