Hoods

Each night two hoods ride a train to a wrecking yard on the outskirts of the city

Here, in this cemetery of stories, they are storytellers with the power to fast forward, pause and rewind

Tonight, they tell the story of three kids left in a car

Rewind ...

It's Friday, KFC night and the last day of school before Christmas

Kyle, Jessie and baby brother Troy are waiting in the car for their mum

As night approaches the car park takes on a dark and sinister aspect filled with strange and familiar characters

The shopping centre closes,

But Mum still hasn't returned

And the baby won't stop crying

Exploring issues of poverty and family violence, Hoods is a suburban tale of survival and solidarity against the odds
