Offbeat Cops
SQUEEGEE follows a group of young people struggling to overcome poverty and the ingenuity they bring to making a living on the streets of Baltimore. Year-round, young people in Baltimore "squeegee" to make ends meet, washing car windows on street corners and highway medians in exchange for tips. In Baltimore, squeegeeing is a way of life for kids struggling to survive in a city riddled with redlining, poverty, gun violence, segregation, school-to-prison pipeline, and police brutality. Yet, despite the odds stacked against them, these young people refuse to be beaten down by the system. Instead, they use their wits and street smarts to carve out a niche in the city's informal economy. SQUEEGEE follows four young people and the worlds they inhabit. Leroy Brown, Ericka Sparks, Desmond Rogers, and "Peanut" Davis take us on an emotional journey as they transition to adulthood.
