Written and Directed by: MICHAEL LEONI
From Spare Some Change and An 11:11 Experiment comes the feature documentary, THE AMERICAN STREET KID.

Dir of Photography: JOSEPH HENDRICKSON and ABIGAIL JANE ELLIOTT Editor and Graphics: FARZAD AGHILI and Additional Editing: CHRIS DE BARROS

1.8 million kids are living on the streets of America and every day 13 of those kids will die.


THE AMERICAN STREET KID takes you on a journey with five homeless kids, and reveals a world that most people don't even know exists and asks: How did this happen? Why are they there and Why can't they get out? Witness a world where, if you want to survive, you have to beg for money, sell drugs or sell yourself. The stories they tell and the lives they lead will open our eyes to what is happening on our streets, right outside our doors. The American Street KId is a story about friendship, survival, dreams and hope.

  • When will the documentary be finished? I want to watch it! I met a girl ho is 19 years old last year. She lives in the streets of Hollywood and Venice. I invited her over to my house, we went to a punk show then back to my house. Her life was very interesting but she did too many drugs,:( At my house she atre almost all my food because she was hungry. I havent seen her since that day but I will never forget her.
