Sweetheart Deal
SIFF Says: Driven by their addiction to heroin, four women encounter friendship and betrayal while working Seattle’s infamous Aurora Avenue in this intimate portrait of hope, heartbreak, and resilience on the fringes of Modern America.
Stranger Says: Do not miss this documentary. It's Seattle noir at its finest. Raindrops on windows, long nights, dusky downtown, the underworld of Aurora Avenue. The moody documentary is about four women who, for a considerable length of time, sold sex on the street to pay for drugs. We see them walking Aurora, entering cars, shooting up. We also see them exploited by an elderly man who dressed like a hippy but turned out to be a monster. CHARLES MUDEDE
