Streetwise Documentary (Mary Ellen Mark)

EMMAh · 09.13.2008, 11:49 PM

I'm know some of you here are familiar with the photographer, Mary Ellen Mark. I've been a fan of her work for a while now and have always loved her Streetwise collection but haven't really been able to find it around until now. So, I thought I would share in case anyone wanted to see

If you don't know what Streetwise is, it's a documentary on street kids in Seattle in 1983. It's non judgmental, and pretty much just tells the story. It's well worth the watch in my opinion, so get to it.

I will check this out in a second! I want to watch all back to back...

DeadDiscoDildo · 09.14.2008, 12:25 AM

well so far i love the opening quote.

greenbird · 09.14.2008, 12:41 AM

I'll download the videos and merge them into a movie. It'd be better to watch than a bunch of youtube videos

DeadDiscoDildo · 09.14.2008, 12:48 AM

I'm on the third video now, this is great!

DeadDiscoDildo · 09.14.2008, 01:06 AM

Some of this is gut-wrenching.

EMMAh · 09.14.2008, 01:51 AM

Yeah, it's pretty sad.

Seeing Dwayne is probably the worst part.

DeadDiscoDildo · 09.14.2008, 02:00 AM

Fuck.

DeadDiscoDildo · 09.14.2008, 02:12 AM

You must spread more reputation before blah blah blah....

Thank you for sharing this with us. More later when I can really gather my thoughts.

EMMAh · 09.14.2008, 02:17 AM

Hahaha, I'm glad you liked it.

I wanna break out my Rat avatar now, but I'm kind of digging the PJ at the moment.

!@#$%! · 09.14.2008, 09:21 AM

fucking A, i started watching this-- WOW!

most repped.

EMMAh · 09.14.2008, 11:42 AM

More people should watch it, lazy fucks.

racehorse · 09.14.2008, 11:57 AM

Oh yes!! Thank you so much, it's quite remarkable!

EMMAh · 09.14.2008, 12:39 PM

Rat is so small.

EMMAh · 09.14.2008, 12:39 PM

They were so cute together

I wish Mike was in this, but he was in some detention center or something. Rat kept talking about breaking him out.

An engaging yet thoroughly tragic documentary - a trip through friendships gained and lost, degradation and hopelessness. A big, big thanks to EMMAh for giving us all the heads-up on this.

!@#$%! · 09.14.2008, 02:07 PM

emmah, if you liked this, you might just like paris is burning. parts of it remind me a lot of this.

Green_mind · 09.14.2008, 02:20 PM
