Jamesy Boy

Jamesy Boy (2014) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Trevor White. It's based on the true story of James Burns — a Denver teenager who drifted into street gangs and ended up in a maximum-security prison before he could drive.

Spencer Rocco Lofranco plays James without romanticizing him: reckless, stubborn, not obviously redeemable. Inside, he forms an unlikely bond with a convicted murderer who becomes the closest thing he's had to a mentor. Mary-Louise Parker plays his mother. Ving Rhames and James Woods give the prison world the necessary weight.

White cuts between the street life that got James locked up and the prison stretch that begins to change him. It's a quiet film about a second chance that didn't have to happen. Stream Jamesy Boy online on iFILM.
