MOTEL KIDS OF ORANGE COUNTY

The New York Daily News article on Alexandra Pelossi's documentary HOMELESS KIDS OF ORANGE COUNTY link here.

"There she spent a summer with kids living in motels within walking distance of Disneyland.

"I was surprised and how unapologetic and sincere they were," she says.

"They weren't bitter; they weren't unhappy."

Yet, the stuff that comes out of the mouths of the kids is likely to make viewers feel both emotions, and more. Kids talk about having lice, about bedbugs and violence. They go to a special one-room school for kids like them. At one point, Pelosi asks the kids what their future holds.

The answers are heartbreaking."
