On the Bowery
DocumentaryDrama
A mix of documentary and scripted footage on the Bowery, New York City's skid row. Against a backdrop of men (and a few women) drinking in bars, talking and arguing, and sleeping on sidewalks, we have the story of Ray.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at life on New York's skid row. It feels like eavesdropping on forgotten lives, a stark and melancholic portrait of urban struggle and quiet desperation.
