Life changing

I first saw this film back in 1987.I was 16 years old and had ran away from home 2 years earlier.I was fortunate enough to have parents who would take me back ,some of these kids weren't.I was 14 my friend was 15 we were left to sleep in the wood's alone and scared,in a big city I had never been to.This film STREETWISE has inspired me to make helping streetkids my lifes work.It is the most powerful film I've ever seen,by far!Praise GOD for Mary ellen Mark and Martin Bell,for tackling a subject so ignored!


Streetwise

One of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. You really grow to love these kids, bringing home the full weight of tragedy to the viewer. This documentary is just as dramatic as any work of fiction. In fact, I just saw a movie, also about street kids, called American Heart with Jeff Bridges that borrows some key lines from this film. Both movies feature exclusive music from Tom Waits too. Streetwise is definitely the better of the two by far, though AH gets credit just for being so influenced by SW. I'm a real film buff, and Streetwise is one of my favorite movies. I'd love to know what ever became of those kids. Anyone know?

whatever happened to

just to let anyone interested know i went to the mary ellen mark website and she has picutres of tiny and her family now, tiny is 30 and has 7 children (mostly all from different fathers) i was sent an email that said mike (rats friend) now owns his own farm and is doing well. thats all i know, still curious as to what happened to patty, shadow, rat and the rest of them if anyone knows please email me.


heart wrenching

I just rented this video and I cant get it out of my head. I cant stop wondering whatever happened to them, and where are they now. i was 12 when it was made and I couldnt imagine living like that, if anyone know what happened to any of them I would love to find out. great documentary!
