Carny Girl Erin FitzGerald, Vallejo CA, USA. Documentary Short, 25:20
Carny Girl is the story of four generations of carnival women, fom the old school carnival of runaways and girlie shows, to the modern "amusement park on wheels" with rules and regulations most carnies never could have imagined. Using archival footage and personal interviews, Carny Girl illuminates a world where deception and showmanship are a way of life; where carnival families stick to their own kind and, like families everywhere, ultimately want more for their children than they had for themselves. |
