Western societies are not new to this business of putting people who had not been "succesful" in their life, on the side. We all know about this part of LA that this video depicts. We know it quite well. We just choose to put this knowledge on the side, and we go on living our " succesful" lives. We do a great job in being an original western society with the expected percentage of people who make it, and the expected percentage of people who don't make it.
Skid Row LA is for us, one more group of people who... failed. This is how we view them. As failed and lost sheep... And we have this -very western also- tendency to shade the light of sensibility to their horrible lives, and feel very content with our humanize face towards them. How nice indeed.
This video will make its round to a variety of websites, maybe even participate in some documentary film festivals, plenty of us will talk about it with friends, yet, the essense of things is that at the end, we will put it Skid Row on the side.
