📖 Synopsis
In the mid-1980s, Martin Bell and Mary Ellen Mark document the lives of a group of homeless youth struggling to survive on the streets of Seattle: panhandling, prostitution, drugs, and a desperate search for affection. The film is also a portrait of Tiny, a thirteen-year-old girl whose story sadly illustrates what the system fails to protect. A classic of American social documentary, Oscar-nominated and as relevant today as it was then.

9.1/10
★★★★★
One of the most devastating documentaries ever made. Martin Bell followed these kids for months without judgment, armed only with a camera and a heart.
