Audience Member I only seen this movie/docu. once, I believe that I will watch this again. Even though it is a sad/hard watch, I think that it is worth more then one watch. I would reccomend it to others to watch, at first I thought that it was a bit dated and it may be altered or written out if you will. I read on to hear that this was based on teens life on the streets in the 80's in WA. As the film went on I felt drawn to it and wanting to know the teens outcome in life. It also not to be personal reminded me of my own troubles of growing up etc... This was a real birds eye view of people and the human nature need, that we all have in some way as humans to survive. We can all relate to these teens in one way or another. I did some homework and read about some of the teens background that were in the film. Sad to hear that some of these teens have lost their lives to murder, suicide etc... r.i.p. to all. I went with 3 1/2 stars I thought that it was a film that sticks and stays with you after you watch it etc... I hope that the teens in this film found their way in life. So much to say on this film go give it a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A spectacular look inside the lives of street kids. It's about how they live, where they sleep, how they get money, their family situation, etc. The stories are heartbreaking and emotional. The doc is so well done it feels as if the camera isn't even recording, as the kids really show their true self and are not acting for the camera. I pray to god that some of these kids got a life of happiness. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This raw documentary follows the lives of street kids living in Seattle in the Mid 80s. Although it may look dated many of the issues addressed in this film still resinate to this day! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Kanonbra, osentimental dokumentär om gatubarn i Seattle, de flesta i fjortonÃ¥rsÃ¥ldern, som livnär sig pÃ¥ smÃ¥brottslighet och prostution. Det märks att kidsen litar pÃ¥ filmarna - i början känns det som de spelar lite men snart in i filmen är det som att kameran inte ens är pÃ¥. Ett riktigt skönt gäng ungar pÃ¥ sitt sätt, jag gillade verkligen de flesta. Vilket gör det extra trist att läsa att hälften av dom är döda nu, i AIDS, överdoser och sÃ¥ stackars söta Roberta Joseph Hayes som vart mördad av The Green River Killer. Sammantaget en av mina absoluta dokumentärfavoriter. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Even though this is an 80's documentary, its very haunting to see those kids. Seattle at that time seemed to be a kids playground for kids who had problems. You now wonder what ever happened to them, are they still alive? The kid that got me the most was Dewayne, it was just sad because maybe his dad did really want to change and give him a better life. This documentary is just more open/real about homeless kids. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the roughest, most heartbreaking movies I have ever seen. The access is amazing: Director Martin Bell is with these kids during so many tough, poetic, beautiful, deadly moments and the frankness of portrayal is almost unbearable. A cinematic pearl of a movie. A masterpiece. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
