Union Square
A chilling and powerful glimpse into the lives of the homeless heroin addicts who populate New York's Union Square. Seven 20-something-year-old individuals allowed this documentary crew unprecedented access following them through stealing, hustling, detox and rehab, all in the name of a habit that has them locked in a vicious and self-destructive cycle described by TV Guide as 'slow-motion suicide'.
