Full Description
Leaving Disneyland is the story of an aging black convict, Doc Kane, struggling to make parole after having served 16 years of a 20-year murder sentence. For self-preservation, he's become a "heavy" in the D.C. Blacks gang. A young kid whom Doc wants to help is assigned to share his cell, but this, too, puts him at odds with making parole. After Doc is released from prison, he must attempt the "Square John Trip". He struggles with life outside prison -- his family has left him, and D.C. is not at all like the city he left. Ultimately this life causes him to deal heroin again before he comes to understand that to escape prison, he must confront his horrible past.
