Soft White Underbelly
« on: May 15, 2021, 07:58:35 pm »
This Youtube channel interviews people forgotten by society. The owner, Mark Laita, is a photographer who takes portraits of people and then films an interview. Many of his subjects are sex workers, drug addicts, pimps, and tricks.

One addict Amanda passed away at 25yrs old after years of mental health and drugs problems. She was interviewed numerous times over yrs but this time she finally got the help, gained weight and began to look healthier.

I have seen several of these videos. I think the one that had the biggest impact on me was the one about the Whitaker family from Odd, West Virginia. It seemed a bit exploitive, but it still seemed to present a candid view of some special people with severe social and communication issues.
