Summary:

In TINY: THE LIFE OF ERIN BLACKWELL, director Martin Bell and photographer Mary Ellen Mark draw on their thirty-year relationship with one of the most indelible subjects of STREETWISE. Now a forty-four-year-old mother of ten, Erin Blackwell, a.k.a. Tiny, reflects with Mark on the journey they've experienced together, from Blackwell's battles with addiction to her regrets to her dreams for her own children, even as she sees them being pulled down the same path of drugs and desperation that she was. Interweaving three decades' worth of Mark's photographs and footage that includes previously unseen outtakes from STREETWISE, this is a heartrending, deeply empathetic portrait of a family trying to break free of the cycle of trauma, as well as a summation of the life's work of Mark, an irreplaceable artistic voice
