The Connector - Documentary | From Street Legend to Community Savior | End the Violence ✊🏽🎥

What if the most dangerous people in your city were also the key to saving it?

In this powerful 37-minute documentary, End the Violence founder Dr. Sean Stevenson tells his unfiltered story—from a childhood of abandonment and violence to becoming one of the most respected community leaders in America. With firsthand access to gangs, prison systems, and fractured neighborhoods, Sean now uses that same credibility to rebuild what was broken. This is the story of trauma turned into purpose. Of lived experience turned into strategy. And of a man who refused to die before building a legacy.
