Review of Streetwise (1984) by Mike C — 01 Sep 2011
Tragic documentary about homeless youth living in Seattle in the 1980s. To be streetwise is to learn the survival skills needed. That can mean dumpster diving, prostitution, selling drugs or pulling con jobs. There's no narration in the documentary and none is needed. The people all speak for themselves. They're vibrant individuals were born or came into bad circumstances.
It's from the 80's but it isn't dated at all. There are still street kids and they act pretty much the same way today. Some of them are brilliant, some of them are naive but they're all trying to survive.
