it's really worth seeing it in a decent format though. it really misses out a lot on youtube. clothes & makeup & facial expressions etc.

Thankyou Emmah, thats was a really insightful and moving documentary, havn't seen anything quite as good as this in a long time. (Quick question though: What as Mary Ellen Mark's part in making this film, because I read it was directed by Martin Bell?) I did enjoy Mark's film still alot aswell. Once again, thanks.

Cheryl McCall and Mary Ellen Mark did a story for Time on the same kids, saw the potential for a good film, and got Mark's husband in on it (Martin Bell, I dunno if they were married then though)

Jesus fuck! Her kids are sure sweet, but as for her....those pics actually shocked me. What a fucking tragedy for her and her kids....

I dunno, I really loved this film, don't get me wrong, but there were certain critisizms I had of it. I don't think it was scripted, or in any way insincere, but it was plain throughout the film that certain shots had been 'set up', and though it doesn't make the peice any less real life, in does make it seem slightly less naturalistic.

[EMMAh]

I don't get how that would be a criticism. You have to set up shots.

I've read that she has nine kids Melly One older article said she had five all from different dad's.

[This Is Not Here]

Well it something of a criticism, if you're arranging people and situations for shots then it's not exactly a purely naturalistic documentary.

[EMMAh]

You don't even have proof of that.

Such a great film, made me sad for all the characters.

I don't even have proof you're right, its just quite obvious in some shots. If you're literally following people around with cameras you don't have time to set up as perfect shots that appear in this film. It's no major critisizm, it's still a wonderful film regardless.

Bump, haven't been around in a few days. No power, windstorm. Really liked this movie and had alot to say on it, now I can't remember. Had a busy past couple of days with this crazy weather shit.

any other character updates?

its crazy, on youtube, most of the people leaving comments seem to be people who lived in that area in that time, or knew people there...it's kind of sad.

unless it's all lies and they are fakers.

[DeadDiscoDildo]

Not enough people are commenting on this, you're all lame.

I really enjoyed it.

& Emmah, I watched it so dont we get to shag now or something?

[EMMAh]

I think some of them must be liars.

As for other updates, I don't really know any. It's possible that it I looked around some more I might be able to find some.
