追梦人

For twenty-five years Brenda Myers-Powell called herself 'Breezy' and she dominated her world, or that's what she thought. It was a world that had turned her into a teenage, drug-addicted prostitute. After a violent encounter with a 'john,' Brenda woke up in the hospital and decided to change her life. Today she is a beacon of hope and a pillar of strength for hundreds of women and girls as young as fourteen who want to change their own lives. 'Dreamcatcher' explores the cycle of neglect, violence and exploitation which each year leaves thousands upon thousands of girls and women feeling that prostitution is their only option to survive. By following the very charming, charismatic and truly empathic Brenda, we enter the lives of young women and see in verite footage their realities from their points of view. While the world may overlook these women and men, thankfully Brenda has not, providing an unflinching expose which contrasts seeming hopelessness against the difference that one ...

Got in touch with the same organization for access and filming subject, disgusting respond asking for money. I don’t know how much they paid for the film, but it makes me feel distrust in Brenda, her organization and the whole industry.

我导牛逼?抓住枢纽型人物就可以连贯串联不同人物之间的故事 嗯..

在北京电影学院的纪录片电影节上放映了这部片子，大家总体评价还不错，选材比较成功。

这世界上有多少丑恶黑暗，也许就有多少相应的美好光明，幸好～

震撼与心痛，虽然拍的有点乱，但这样的主题就足够触动了。

关注点不错但是节奏不好 看起来真挺累 也不大喜欢主角 处处都像搞传销 甚至有时还会觉得会有点伤人呢

人物选择好，带出一个个其他的故事，也和容易消除拍摄障碍。

这次Idocs最不喜欢的一部。从头到尾价值观输出，Cctv12法制进行时即视感。消费型纪录片

印象最深的是最后那个20岁的女孩，一开始很平静的描述自己9岁被虐待，暴打，站街的经历，好像在描述另外一个人一样“冷血”，但最后隔着玻璃看到妹妹和妈妈，终于“像个孩子一样哭了”。让人心疼。

3.5 同样内容惊人,但组织的不太惊艳,素材有层层深入这点很棒.有金句,比如受害者也会变成施暴者的恶性循环.换假发也是很好的细节.最后的歌儿结尾也挺妙.但感觉稍微有点单调. 这位女性很伟大.

如果不是创造者有着同样的经历，对她们的理解至深，想必没人会开口。

被一个个讲述者触目惊心的遭遇震惊得忘了电影技法部分～主角是个伟大的女人～这世界上有多少丑恶黑暗，也许就有多少相应的美好光明，幸好～
