A raw and intimate Cinema Verité documentary, inspired by Streetwise, that follows four women entangled in addiction and prostitution along Seattle’s notorious Aurora Avenue, who find refuge in the roadside motorhome of a self-styled savior with a mysterious past. But just as they begin to rebuild their lives, a shocking betrayal comes to light that will change them all. Rather than fall victim to another cruel injustice, they discover the strength to stand up for themselves and for each other. Directors Elisa Levine and Gabriel Miller spent eight years capturing the women’s stories, revealing cycles of exploitation, resilience, and the pursuit of redemption. The film offers a compassionate look at the systemic issues of homelessness and substance abuse, highlighting the strength and vulnerability of those often marginalized by society. Cleveland premiere.
