Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Skrzeszewska's earlier film 'Songs from the Nickel' also documented Skid Row; she's one of few filmmakers treating unhoused subjects as protagonists, not symbols.
The couple's real names are used—unusual in docs about marginalized subjects, reflecting director-subject trust built over two years of filming.
