The filming style was interesting I really actually liked the intro credits but the stories of the people themselves seemed rather hollow. Not much backstory on how the person got to the point they are at. One huge glaring mistake, a fact stated in the documentary is "Female sex workers have a "Morality" rate times higher than the national average. They meant "Mortality Rate" Overall it was more depressing than informative.

An ugly, depressing slice of reality. I guess the point was to show some hard lives. I found it mostly pointless.
It's was ok but I just wonder about the abrupt ending. Why wouldn't they at least close it out with a"this is is what lizard is doing now"
It's ok if you can't find something else to watch

Missing lots of the story line for each person that's being filmed. No background, odd camera angles and shots of random things that just don't make any sense at all. I'd imagine this was an editors worst nightmare. No subtitles for moments when you couldn't understand a word from some of the people that were being interviewed. Just a hot mess. So many things missing it literally leaves you with nothing but questions for every single chapter/scene of the movie. I would definitely NOT recommend this movie.

I drove a truck with my late husband back in the 1980's.We drover cross country from Chicago to LA every week. I saw this constantly in the truck stops. My husband would walk me back to the truck at night because he knew what was going on and he knew I was not safe walking alone.
We were in Sacramento, late at night and he had walked me back to the truck and then went back in to make phone calls and do his business in the restrooms. I was in the sleeper with my Dobe Reno and someone started banging on the drivers door. I stuck my head out from the sleeper and this woman lost her mind thinking I was working her row. She called me every name in the book until I told her to get the frig off my truck or my husband would remove you! Frightening.
Drugs, prostitutes weeee! That was part of cross country driving. California was the worst, filthy bathrooms, prostitutes what have you. I can attest to what this show is trying to tell you. It's real and in my brain I could never imagine these woman or men having sex with an unknown and driving away like no big deal. Ick, ick ick. No amount of soap and Penicillin can wash that away.

This is a true documentary, it shows reality without trying to sweeten it, explain it or extract any conclusion from it. It's probably too raw for most people's taste but I really liked it (actually I profoundly disliked it... uh, you understand what I mean, right?). It's not an easy documentary to watch, you need your chakras to be very aligned.
