The cinematography, the soundtrack, the production. These are REALLY good.

[@hendo_froth]

This is a masterclass in Balance. The incredible soundtrack and clean film quality subconsciously lifts the harsh yet real subject manner giving the viewer an unparalleled snapshot into lives and voices sadly left in the shadows. Sending love and hope to those in need in the city. Thank you for this art

[@gonelucid]

It's awesome that youtube dang near gave up on copyright striking folks for music. Without that ability.. the songs would either need to be edited out or no monetization for the video used.

[@Timedelayedfuse]

"Masterclass". Been seeing a lot of people saying that lately. Makes me want to say it to feel relevant.

[@Truckngirl]

So well shot, edited and produced...You guys HAVE to do more self-promotion. This and the SF Dregs should be viral worldwide. I am looking forward to Phoenix and beyond. I hope you explode on KZbin and all other platforms.

How long have voyeurs put their cameras in the faces of the least powerful who have no say in things changing? These voyeurs should put the cameras on those that pull the levers in this society. Playing that trite rap music for such profound issues is so amateurish, lazy and disrespectful.

I’m originally from the south side of Chicago. It’s pretty rough and unforgiving in Chicago. But when I moved to LA I was legit in survival mode at times because how bad the streets were. I could feel it in the air. The tension, the agitated energy. It was on a massive scale.

@@SIXSEVENstories New subscriber..nothing pretty about addiction and homelessness I worked for Sal army for about 6 years. I had people who had Masters, businessmen who had a family beautiful house made 6 figs a year. A head oncologist nurse made 80k..and addiction, alcohol and or mental illness took them down. Tragically the businessman, who had gotten a great job, left shelter, started drinking, lost job, and died one winter night in a tent by himself. His alcoholism killed him. I didn't know his back story until memorial service. There's no easy way out. But you can get out. There are many who would rather stay on street and hustle and boost for money for their addiction than clean up and pay bills. But there are exceptions especially now, with rents rising and pay staying same. Edit: plus the migrants/illegals are given precedence for shelters, housing, hotels doesn't help. At least the folks who want to get out of this lifestyle

[@VHGbham]

I just found your channel today and immediately watched both your documentaries and subbed. These are the best documentaries I’ve seen anyone do. The cinematography, music, just letting people talk and be themselves without putting yourself in every shot. Keep putting these out and your going to be huge.

[@LordUltraboost]

Un-freaking-believable short doc! You brought existence to those left behind while also showing the negatives and side effects of either bad choices or born into situations! I will continue to watch this channel grow for years to come!

That guy on the piano and then the violin is some intense music. It's delicate and rough.

[@AgentMetapod]

Crazy good production. Not often do I watch anything longer than 10 minutes on youtube without skipping, I watched this one the whole way through.

[@h0ll9w]

this is fye, from someone who’s raised in la and have grown up in there. this felt real. you really have no idea what you’ll be in for going to skid row. I’ve seen people naked people with weapons, sex, literally everything but in plain view. Glad they made it out with all their nice film equipment. loved watching!

@@gordocarbo definitely, and fs, wouldn’t want to know.. funny, anytime being around there in night, must skate fast to not linger too long. feel for those who do live there. young especially. to add, even in daytime people are trying to kidnap others in la. in broad day. And when my friend was trying to explain the operation, after almost falling victim myself, you wouldn’t think it’d be women and men involved. This was during Covid when I witnessed that.
