Recorded 1985.

Graphic animation of black and white photographs provides a gritty, realistic look at juvenile prostitution and the young people, male and female, who are struggling to get off the streets. This documentary quickly dispels the images of glamor and big money usually associated with prostitution, and makes clear the continuum of being sexually abused as a child, loss of self-esteem, and turning to the streets. Street Kids shows the positive efforts of child-care workers to help juvenile prostitutes find a way out. A provocative discussion starter for teenage audiences, parents, social service agencies, and legal professionals.
