Mouth to Mouth

Sherry, a young runaway meets the radical street collective SPARK - Street People Armed with Radical Knowledge – while she is living on the streets of Europe. She travels through the continent in the SPARK van, recruiting members from street gangs and disenfranchised youth at raves and town squares and experiencing the group’s giddy thrills as well as its punishing manipulations. Searching for a place to belong where she can still be herself, Sherry thinks she has found this in SPARK, but when her mother comes to find her, Sherry discovers that she must pay a heavy personal price for rebellion.

“Mouth to Mouth” is the first feature by Alison Murray, whose documentary “Train on the Brain” was a definitive look at youth “trainhoppers.” Murray is also a choreographer, and “Mouth to Mouth” contains striking sequences that fuse dance and dramatic action.
