Probably the most sobering documentary I've ever seen.
Absolutely incredible. This is such a hard watch, but it’s one of the most phenomenally made documentaries I have ever seen.
Not sure what else Martin Bell has done but this enough to show he had an expert touch alongside editor Nancy Baker. This flows so well
Incredibly sad. But worth watching.

This documentary about teenagers living on the streets in Seattle began as a magazine article. The film follows nine teenagers who discuss how they live by panhandling, prostitution, and petty theft.
Filmmaker Martin Bell chronicles the life of Erin Blackwell, mother of 10 children, from the time she was a 14-year-old prostitute through her battle with drug addiction, poverty and parenting.
