DRYLONGSO

Cauleen Smith
United States
 - 1998

Alarmed by the rate at which the young black men around her are dying, brash Oakland art student Pica attempts to preserve their existence in Polaroid snapshots, along the way forging a friendship with a woman in an abusive relationship, experiencing love and loss, and being drawn into the search for a serial killer who is terrorizing the city.
