I’ve never heard of Ross Capicchioni before, and unless you happen to have stumbled on this video already, you probably haven’t either. Four years ago, when Capicchioni was 17, he was lured into a bad neighbourhood in Detroit’s notorious east side, shot three times and left for dead.
A 2-part documentary explaining the survival of Ross Capicchioni after being betrayed and ambushed by his own friend on the rough streets of Detroit. It’s a simple yet extraordinary tale, told in a captivatingly genuine way. How he survived, how he battled back from his debilitating wounds, how he stood up in court and identified the kid who pulled the trigger (who, as it turns out, was trying to join a gang that required its initiates to kill a random stranger) and how he copes with the lasting psychological scars.
