SKID ROW is now available on DVD! And coming soon, two new versions: an Educational Edition complete with teaching guide, and an Activist Edition filled with informative tools and guidelines for activists and non-profit organizations to host their own SKID ROW screenings! The Activist Edition is now available to PREORDER. Poverty, homelessness, drug abuse, care for veterans, these are all important and often ignored issues in today's political climate. Join Pras Michel of the Fugees, Nelson Madison Films, Indie Rights and IndiePix and do something about it!
Skid Row is a 50-square block area in downtown Los Angeles where an average of 90,000 homeless and transient people live on any given night. More than just a place -- it's a way of life, a mind set, the last resort for those who have given up on society and, in many cases, themselves.
In the feature documentary SKID ROW, Pras Michel -- one third of the successful hip-hop band The Fugees -- lives on the streets of Skid Row for 9 straight days and nights as a homeless person. The entire time he and his crew are undercover, using surveillance cameras.
His journey is a difficult one, riddled with hunger, exposure to the elements, criminals, drugs and danger. It is also life-changing... as Pras learns not only how to fend for himself, but discovers the dark, very human and, at times, humorous underbelly of Los Angeles.
