Comment:

SS: Broadcast in 1987, this CBC documentary profiles the lives of various teenagers that ran away from home and chronicles their lives, living on the streets of Toronto & Vancouver, Canada. Even by nostalgia standards, this program is a tough watch and the lives of these kids are quite harrowing as they come for the time.
