Released in 2009, Set Apart is a notable film directed by Ralph E. Portillo, running about 97 minutes. “The Streets ... or Their Dreams?” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Four troubled, inner city kids get a western-style shot at redemption when a cowboy pastor invites them to his country ranch and offers them a chance to put their lives in perspective. Korina, Rey, Anthony, and Marcus all grew up on the streets. Every decision they make in that volatile environment could affect the rest of their lives. Pastor John Gunn (John Schneider) runs the Power Company Kids' ministry, an organization dedicated to giving at-risk kids the tools they need to build brighter futures. He's convinced that the four teens would benefit from going back to the basics and experiencing the cowboy lifestyle, and with a little help from ranch owners Randy and Heidi Gunn, Pastor Gunn shows the kids that there's much more to life than hustling on the streets. Though reluctant to participate at first, the kids quickly adjust to their new surroundings as their eyes are opened to a whole new world of opportunity.

Who’s in it. Set Apart stars Ary Katz as Marcus Brown, Richard Roundtree as J.T., John Schneider as Pastor John Gunn and Raymond J. Barry as Will Lantis, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 3.0/10, Set Apart has proved divisive with audiences.
