S.P.I.T.: Squeegee Punks in Traffic is a Canadian 2001 documentary film by Daniel Cross. The narrative unfolds from the point of view of squeegee kids.[1] [2]
The main character, "Roach," later on became an EyeSteelFilm documentary director as Eric "Roach" Denis.
A very positive review in TV guide stated, "not only does the film play an activist role in terms of engendering audience awareness, it also made a concrete difference in the life of one individual who was in critical need of external help - putting it in the rare category of such documentary predecessors as Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's Paradise Lost trilogy and Errol Morris's The Thin Blue Line."[3]
The Canadian website Mediafilm praised the acting and editing.[4]
