Everybody Street is the sort of
documentary that we really need

members aiming guns at him,
people shooting up and the danger

what I mean. With a sense of
humour, Gilden documents
the unique among the city’s
inhabitants. Then you’ve got the
prolific Mary Ellen Mark (1940-

such as Mother Teresa, brothels
in Bombay, homelessness, the
