A Brush with the Tenderloin (2011)

'A Brush with the Terderloin' follows the transformation of one dicey street corner in San Francisco's notorious Tenderloin district, as acclaimed muralist Mona Caron paints a rich visual story about the neighborhood's past, present and potential future. Through the course of the film we get up-close and personal with a diverse collection of locals as they interact directly with Caron and end up playing key roles in the mural's evolution. Among the characters, we meet homeless rocker 'Indian Joe,' who is on a quest to meet Alice Cooper, along with former heroin addict Lisa Demb and neighborhood kite-maker Jeff Marshall.
