The movie Streetwise is a documentary film that follows several runaway youth in the 1980s living on the streets of Seattle. Most are no older than 16, but already have made careers for themselves as pimps and prostitutes, thieves and muggers, panhandlers and dumpster divers, and doing what they can to survive.
It's fascinating to watch the teens Tonya, Munchkin, Shadow, as they live their lives dumpster diving, turning tricks and hustling on the streets of Seattle. You watch them in their day to day lives dealing with living in abandoned motels, parents who honestly don't care that they're prostituting, and dealing with the violence of pimps and venerial disease. So do to all these different issues that were raised in the film I had found this film a lil disturbing. All the things they went thru as teenagers, i could not really imagine what would this be like to go thru.
