Crossman follows the life of those who contribute and are affected by the vicious cycle of poverty, crime and drug use. While conducting interviews and showing powerful footage that is completely raw and untailored, those in the video share their personal history and current present concerning relationships, race, theft, prison and living life on the streets. Length 07:41

Responses are void of pageantry which creates for a documentary that is authentic and without hype. Crossman’s passion is to capture as well as create, and through this video he does exactly that. Part III has yet to be released but it is greatly anticipated. Be challenged, shocked, and educated as Crossman transports us to the Streets of Fietas.
