This is a fresh, honest look at a familiar sort of neighborhood, but without familiar commentary of tragedy or hope or injustice. The young men who narrate the story use the banal to tell a story, explain a history, capture the present, and speculate on the future.
These kids are smart. And they're funny. And they're frank. They show an impressive journalistic knack, having the sort of detached objectivity that lets the pathos of the situation express itself unforced. Even at very personal points, they simply let the situation unfold, let the interviewees tell their own stories in their own way.
It's certainly worth more than one listen: once for the main audio, once for the background noise, and once to let it all come together to create true depth.
