Summary of Begging Naked
Begging Naked unflinchingly shows how a person can end up on the street. They don’t just sprout. Everyone out there has a story. This film began as a study of Elise's life, a friend of the filmmaker. Elise wanted to tell her story of being a 15-year-old runaway to NYC, where a pimp quickly picked her up. She became a prostitute and heroin addict, all the while doing her artwork. Her dream was to go to art school.
When Elise decided to go back into stripping at age 30, the story went on an unpredictable course. Over the next 7 years, Mayor Guiliani wiped out the sex businesses on 42nd Street leaving Elise unemployed. She began to spiral mentally out of control, stopped paying rent and was eventually evicted. She now lives in Central Park. The events in Elise's life have dictated the 9 years of this astonishing production.
