06/18/2021 Meh, it passed the time See more eli a 10/06/2020 Testing testing testing See more 07/25/2020 This documentary prominently features a known sexual predator (Jeremy "germ" DeHart) who assaulted and abused at least six women and non-binary people from the time this movie was filmed to the time it was released. He is featured as some sort of renegade hero despite this. His victims were equally, if not more, fascinating and talented artists, yet they were conveniently left out of the film. How and why he wasn't left out of the final cut is beyond me. These accusations existed at the time of filming and DeHart continued to commit sexual crimes, as well as physical and emotional abuse, clear up until it was released. He's probably still committing them to this day, as activists and homeless people tend to have a distrust of the police and not report. Fuck this movie. Fuck giving him a platform.
