Review of Kicking It (2008) by Rebecca C — 08 Dec 2008

This doc is interesting but I found myself quickly losing interest in the story and main characters and eventually the documentary all together. I think better editing of this film would have improved this film a great deal.

This film does do a good job of showing how many are homeless because of emotional problems or poor coping skills that lead them to be addiction--while others were simply the victims of war, grinding poverty and bad luck.

Whatever the reason it is a reminder of the humanity of the people we see on the street, and that homelessness is hardly ever a choice.
