Jessel Recinos loved the skate park in his hometown in Honduras, but it was there that he got drawn into a gang. When he was 16, Jessel was shot in the back - and barely survived, but as soon as he could walk again he went back to rollerblading. He created a club called Skate Brothers which offers young people an alternative to crime.
