Warning: Adult Content – Pras from The Fugees goes undercover to experience first-hand what life is like on 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 nine 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.  Skid Row

I am so moved after watching this film. I have so much respect for Pras for putting his life on the line to make this documentary. I live 20 minutes away from Skid Row and never even thought much about it until I watched this. I am dumbfounded as to why we let this occur each day. I feel so bad for the homeless and mad at myself for choosing to ignore this problem. |
