Product Description
A poignant tale of survival and life changing drama, The Cross and the Switchblade depicts the true life events of David Wilkerson, an inner city priest who finds himself in the shadows of a crime-ridden New York City. Starring Pat Boone as Wilkerson, and Erik Estrada as the notorious gang member Nicky Cruz, the story tells of the true life relationship between the characters and how the young teen s life is dramatically changed by their encounter. Cruz, an unsettled teen immigrant from Puerto Rico, finds himself embroiled in New York gang life and draws on his murky past to become the leader of the notorious Mau-Mau s at the age of just 18. Attempting to spread the word of God in the troubled inner-city community, Wilkerson finds himself on the receiving end of the gangs violence, yet makes it his mission to share God s teachings with his assailants and help lead Cruz away from a life ruined by drugs and violent crime.

This review is from: The Cross And The Switchblade [1972] [DVD] (DVD)
this film is based on a true story of how a man of God was called to share the Good News to a gang member.
Whilst the movie is old, it is good and shows the up sand downs of gang warefare. If it were not for the fact that it is a true story, some parts might be hard to beleive, but the movie tells it how it happens. Recommended.
