Zooey
Running time: 91 mins
?Zooey? is the true story a love story between a prostitute and her husband - two social outcasts that are not much different than ourselves. They love, live and dream of better things.
On the streets since she was a teenager, Zooey battles a drug addiction. She says she ?just doesn?t want to survive she wants to live.? While ?on the stroll? or at work, she literally runs into Angel, a small time drug dealer and they fall in love. They share a dream of leaving their life on the street and moving to Churchill, ?where the snow is pure and white.?
Zooey?s pimp, Louie, controls her life. She says that he saved her and allowed her to marry Angel. But when he dies, she is forced to work for herself. Angel buys a car and protects her on the stroll. They begin to change their lives when they both get other jobs, deal with their addiction and take custody of a young child. But is it too late as their past catches up to them.
Written and directed by Sherman Lau, ?Zooey ?is based on an actual couple and interviews with New York City prostitutes.
