Where the Day Takes You

Director Marc Rocco’s Where The Day Takes You is a gripping, gritty, and realistic look at teenage runaways and their low-life survival on the mean streets of Los Angeles’ Hollywood Boulevard. This honest, documentary-like chronicle of dreams turning to hopelessness is about the emotional forces of youth rebelling against parental abuse and oppression as they come to start a new life on their own, only to end up as junkies and prostitutes. The story follows various street kids as they sleep under freeways and panhandle to survive. This is a well crafted and directed motion picture that shows runaway youths on the path to disaster.
