ABOUT SKID ROW
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.
