True See is an inspiring portrait of fall and redemption.

The inspiring story of True-See Allah, born as Troy Christopher Watson. In the 80s, during the crack epidemic, Troy was a member of the dangerous Castlegate Road gang in the notorious neighborhood of Roxbury, Boston. He liked the flashy street life, but he soon understood that crime doesn’t pay - Troy was incarcerated at nineteen years old. Facing a long sentence, he decided to turn his life around. He discovered religion and adhered to Islam, changed his name from Troy to True-See, went back to school and completed his studies with a college degree in Liberal Arts and Social Work. Once he left his prison cell, he promised himself to never look back.
