GOOD Magazine: Skid Row Part 2: Kids

http://good.is/

Alongside Skid Row's hustlers, transients, and cops are a lesser known population of children, social servants and religious workers whose daily lives play out on LA's most dangerous city blocks. Watch "On Skid Row," debuting Feb. 18, to get behind the headlines and into the streets of Los Angeles' Skid Row.

Part 2: Teenaged Skid Row filmmaker Franklin Arburtha carries the mantle of disenfranchised youth on skid row.

I am First Nations and from the age of 2, grew up in Vancouver's Skid Row. I lost 3 sisters there and many cousins and friends. I understand poverty! I have a Master's of Fine Arts degree and haven't let the stigma hold me back.

franklin is strong, he is a MAN! He's smart. if i was him i would have picked up the pipe.....but franklin didnt. i hope his skills and talent take him to directing hollywood films. he'd make all the money in the world and never suffer a day in his life again. Franklin i'll pray for you my brother. much love, much respect.
