We Were Once Kids (2022) - Official Trailer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2023
- In the early 1990s, before New York City’s mass gentrification, a group of disparate youth ventured outside their broken homes into the city’s brutal streets. United by skateboarding, they cultivated a family and built a unique lifestyle that ultimately inspired Larry Clark’s 1995 ground-breaking film, KIDS.
The crew became overnight commodities, thrust into the mainstream spotlight. Left adrift under the bright lights, some discovered transcendent lives and careers - while others, abandoned and unequipped to handle fame, suffered fatal consequences.
Director: Eddie Martin
Producer: Shannon Swan, Hamilton Chango Harris

How did we get old? I'll be 48. I remember these days like it was yesterday. When this came out I felt it was a movie made just for me. I was skating in Vancouver. It was such an exciting time.
wild, I was into skating in Victoria BC when I watched this movie, I'm 39 now
Fuck yeah boys. I was skating hastings park every day when I saw it. It was 99 and I'm 36 now
Lol they all did NOT become successful. Lol, serve them right. Smoke more weed and take more shots. Lol. I am happy they are now just a bunch of miserable old people.
From Toronto but live in Vancouver. That movie changed my life!
Same
I was 14 when kids came out. I lived like those kids. Crazy I’m 41 now and couldn’t imagine my kids running around like we did
I feel you man. I was like 16 years old when it came out. Our skate crew literally lived just like this. Man, the 90's skater lifestyle will never be replaced. When it came out, we felt like it was our documentary. Kids don't even go outside anymore. Everything is bubble-wrapped now. What a great time it was to be part of that culture. To live that life (minus the AIDS).
@@Fitzee3We are all the dopest ghosts you'd know back then. Our kids will never understand.
@@Fitzee3Nah all that still exists you guys just don’t see it because you’re in your 30s/40s obviously…
@@quantumoonYou’re right. When you’re in your 30’s/40’s, teenagers outside become invisible to you. All of sudden your eyes can no longer see them running around in the streets. It’s only because we’re “old.” Smh The funny thing about these new gens is they really wanna act like they got it like we had it. Y’all have no idea what life was like back then. We woke up and went outside and stayed out til the street lights came on. I was riding subways alone when I was 9 in DC when the crime rate was through the roof. You do not know anything about that life (period).
@@quantumoonwe really don't, life was way different before the late 90s and late 2000s tech booms.
I watched this movie with a friend when I was 16, now I'm 38, it definitely had an impact on both of our lives at that time.
After KIDS I never grew old. In many ways it’s disturbing, the basic storyline. However the aesthetic, music, blunt rolling in the park, the street wear style back then and just living in poverty but having a large social scene. The movie 13 did capture a similar aura and story, check that one out
My first gf showed this to us exactly 22 years ago as a fun night, the first night we met...we still got together even after this shock
I first really watched it when I was 17, I had seen it before when I was an actual kid but this sort of shit wasn't on my mind. I was in elementary school when I had first seen it and I had to interest in this kind of shit. I watched it with my sister who had just started high school.
Years later she got her hands on the dvd and I stole it from her and watched it and was blown away. I remember watching it with a friend around that time when I was 17 and he made the point that was how shit was when we were little kids.
He was right, I'm from Baltimore and remember being around watching older kids/teenagers in the 90s summers and they were exactly like this movie.
My sister ended up up strong arming her dvd back from me but😂 I bought my own copy, I'm 34 now but this movie still has effect on how I see the world.
Not really thee Generation
Absolutely for me too. The was Kids, then Trainspotting, then Requiem For A Dream, and all had a direct impact on how I was deciding to live at the time. I still follow Harmony Korine, Danny Boyle, and to some extent, Darren Aronofsky as well.
I was 17 when this film came out.
The 90's were a BLAST!
Even my 21 year old son says the 90's would have been fun.
My big bro showed me this movie when I was in 7th grade. It shaped the way I saw everything. Thank God he showed me, kept me safe from a lot.
I distintively remember seeing this by accident during one late evening on CineMax in 1999. It left me speeechless and in total shock how real the film felt. I'm 37 now and I still think about this film and Casper.
casper offed himself
I had the same thing happen. I remember being shocked by the film. Not surprised in any way by it, but shocked that something like it existed. There was something about the aimlessness of it that felt true to the vibe of the mid ninties even if I didn’t actually know anyone like that.
I saw this for the first time in the summer of 1996, when I was 16. I was in an apartment with a bunch of other teenagers, most of whom skated and we were drinking and smoking. I didn’t find the movie that shocking at the time. Now that I’m 44, yes it is a VERY disturbing movie.
Prob the same place I saw it lol it was like 2am when I saw it for the first time
I grew up in Oklahoma. I was 15 on my first day of my freshman year of high school when I skipped that day just to go with some older friends to Dallas just to watch Kids. Even after all these years that movie is still a wake up call to the world.
The director has a photography book called tulsa and its pretty fucked up too. Dude lived on the razors edge of society
@@cook.b6285and was a weird pedo , the junky shooting up preggo probably one of the worst photos Ive ever seen
Every day, 6th grade 96 Tustin California just finished skating with friends and watching this movie like it was church. "I have no legs! I have no legs! God bless you!"
I saw "KIDS" in '95 in the theater and was blown away by it. I later learned how Charles basically used these kids and paid them practically nothing for it and the film just ended up feeling really exploitative. That said, it's a strong film in itself.
He paid them nothing cos there was no money ! 😂 the thing was made on hope and a prayer and paid off massively !
Yes but shouldn't they have received more royalty? If you wanted to promote helping them then do it. Lift people up don't leave them at the door
@@emilecrowther7706100% they should have but when he was handing out the $1000 bonus after the screening . He made them sign something . I’m guessing that was a contract that stated ; I hand over all my rights to this dodgy director . He played them all !
@@emilecrowther7706bitch I’m broke too you help em !
Do you not know how indie movies work?
I still have my original VHS copy of KIDS. It blew me away when I first saw it. But yes, looking back on it now, I can totally see how the fact that so many people thought that it was real could have,and apparently did, ruin those kids lives. I knew one of the lead actors had committed suicide a few decades back. This film was a sad case of a film looking too real for it's own good. And it came at a time when you could still take advantage of young actors and get them to sign contracts that would screw them out of royalties and future earnings. But I still think it's an important film.
This movie meant so much to us at teens in the 90s. Time goes by quickly!! Looking forward to seeing this
It does go quickly.☹️
yup..Thats why you dont waste it.. and dont give me no your told old BS..id want to fukin hear it.. get out there and enjoy life
Craziest experience ever. Not even a movie, an experience. This is what life is like as a teenager. As a kid. The grit and rawness this movie projected is unlike any other in it’s genre. It’s like a “coming-of-age” film on crack.
RIP Justin Pierce. His portrayal of Casper was just him in his skin, and his portrayal of Roach on Next Friday is hilarious.
And R.I.P. Harold hunter
80s,/90s in NYC were wild - glad I got to experience it.
Kids was the film that got me interested in indie cinema. It was raw, gritty, and made your stomach knot up. Its still a feeling I get when I see it. I had a feeling Larry Clark did quite a few of those involved with the film pretty dirty..
Many of the kids went on to very successful careers due to the exposure they got from being in this film.
I was privileged to see this tonight in Melbourne and the direction it took, caught me completely off guard. Amazing piece and very well put together.
Where can we watch it now? All This Mayhem was a shockingly good doco!!
What direction did it take? Did they all regret doing the movie? Did any of them say Larry David was a pervert for filming young teens pretending to have sex?
@@totallyrufusLarry David worked on this?!?!! (((😅😅💀)))
@@totallyrufus Haha, it's not Larry David. It's Larry Clark. Do you think Larry David would fit in on this?
@@totallyrufus pretty much spot on.
I love all the 90s skate rat flixs. How times have changed, people were still worried about dying from aids. People talk about the controversy but for me it was a wake-up call. I had a lot of arguments at home due to my mom. I was skating all over Chicago in the summers to get away from it all. I saw it all, had a little crew a beautiful GF who I saw fall completely to pieces because of alcohol and drugs. I'd go thru classmates dying from heroine, one was drunk on nye and fell off a 4th floor balcony. It was a lot but maybe I was a little bit ready because of this movie. Also had the biggest crush on Rosario D...
aids not as much of a thing that we worried about but i grew up as a bridge and tunnel kid going to new york. trying to run away from the heroin in my home town. It worked for me but not for most of my friends. this was 10 years ago
I grew up skating Chicago too. Basically lived this shit everything in this movie was raw asf literally in a bad way. But great movie regardless
🎶i have no legs...i have no legs🎶
"Kids" is a movie that makes my skin crawl whenever I think about it. It's an excellent film, but man, is it disturbing to say the least.
You must be born after 2005.
@@theexpresidents What the hell is that supposed to mean?
@theexpresidents I was disturbed by this movie and I was born in 91'
@@theexpresidentsare you dumb?
That’s why the movie is a masterpiece because it made the viewer feel so many emotions and vibes it felt like we were in the movie
A masterpiece that has stood the test of time and always will.
Absolutely i watched this in 1996 when i was a teenager. and i allways said when i have kids and they become of age they will watch this movie
A masterpiece. Wouldn't go that far
This movie trained me for not only my highschool years but as well in my 20’s and I’m 22 now so this is still revelant today!
I saw the movie kids back when I was 13. Changed the way I looked at things forever.
I was 13 too, im 33 now
I love your perception of time, I hope to be this delusional about my age too.
I was 13 too saw when it released on vhs back then. I'm 41
13 going down on 30.
I was 15 when this movie came out. This is how 90's kids were. It's pretty spot on.
Every city had groups of kids like this back in the late 80's and early 90's. The cities were different but the experiences were very similar. I wasn't a skater but the parties, the girls, the mindless wondering, believing that your friends were better and more loyal than family. I got out when I turned 18 as adulthood scared the sht of me. Some didn't.
If you were smart, you always stayed on the periphery of these scenes in the 90's. And sort of gravitated more towards family (if you had a decent family). I hung out with kids like this 15-17. Played in a band, etc. Luckily, didn't touch hard drugs or get involved with the crazy sex. Moved out of state with Family after high school. Thank God. One thing I remember, at least in a mid-size town: 20+ dudes would all be trying to date (and hook up with) ONE hipster girl. Very gross....
This doc was way more profound than the movie and everyone in the comments seems to just be talking about the movie. I get it I watched it in middle school around 2006, 11 years after it came out but it’s nice being shown how much more human these kids were than the script.
Where can I watch the doc?
Where caN i watch the doc?
I was in my ealry 20's when i saw Kids and was blown away. I recommend it to anyone that never saw it. So well written and acted. Blew my mind
I saw this movie as a kid growing up in Panama. I remember thinking...holy shit...this is what kids my age are getting into in the states? It was a game\life changer.
I was 100 when the movie came out and I'm just glad I lived long enough to see a documentary come out about the movie.
...daddy never understood....not even the movie, but the soundtrack is just perfect! Saw the movie back in 96 in Germany. Even though everything was bigger over seas, we really felt connected to these kids, they did the same as us.
This movie and basketball diaries are what kept me away from hard drugs. My fraternal twin brother never saw them and dove head first into that sht and nothing I said made a difference. End of the day those films were and still are hugely important to me and my youth
U fortunately it didn’t keep me from it. Ended up a dope and fentanyl junkie but I got 10 years now clean. I am 39 now. Basketball diaries today makes my stomach turn.
@@Taradise85 that sucks but the good news is you’re still above ground. Keep your head up there’s beautiful days weeks years just down the road 💯🙏
I remember seeing this at a party. I was kinda peaking at it on and off but when i watched it years later i realized i was glued to it the entire time.
Perfectly encapsulates 90's summer time.
I was 10 when i saw it. But it always stuck with me.
I was 15 in 95 and skated, Harold Hunter was one of the greatest
This was my homies nd me in toronto. We were a different generation of absent parents nd a terrible school system. Rip Harold Hunter .
I’m 40 now and we live this movie because so many of us lived very close to this way
This movie has me hooked , I was 19 when I saw it
I was a kid when this came out, I'm from the Bronx, and I was like these kids are WILD!!! i've never known any kids lke this. I was a kid thinking "where are there parents?"
Excited for this awesome new blu ray edition
was hard to see in cinemas here in the UK 🇬🇧 due to the media hysteria. my pal and I saw it at a small screening at a now defunct cinema near us on a limited run at the time, he went on to be a film lecturer.. this one woke me up and taught me a lot when I was a young lad. time flies!!!
Any movie that's rated NC-17 automatically pulls me in to watch, this was one of them...
I watched the movie and had the soundtrack. It was messed up but also fascinating glimpse of big city living (I lived in a very small town but was the same age) I wanted to go to a rave so bad! and party and be crazy like that...but its not all sunshine and roses. I remember it being super controversial when it came out!
I grew up skating with those “kids” they where the worst you didn’t want to be around em keep it real wit ya
please share some stories
Please share some insight
RIP Harold Hunter. NYC does it like nobody can.
I watched it the moment it came out on VHS, I remember my mom saying it exploited the cast and thinking that it was a true representation. Now I'm my mom's age and Clark creeps me out.
Where can I go see this movie?
I remeber this movie and the drama when ot came out and people were so shocked.
This was every day life for me back then. As a teen ot was a movie i could relate to cause its what we were living.
Yeeess! So bloody excited about this! No idea this doc came out.
R.I.P. Harold and Casper
Zoo York 4 Life
Holy cow! This takes me back to being 15 years old! Where can I watch this documentary?!?!?
I’m so glad I was able to snag a film frame edition, and an art card edition of this
Eddie Martin kicking goals again!
Grew up skating in the 90’s, the film was a massive impact on us all when it came out so had to check the doc out. Wasn’t expecting that ending……..somehow making Justin’s story sadder. So many what if’s could have changed the path he was heading with just one secret being told to him. RIP Harold & Justin….gone far too soon.
I watched the movie and I'm just shocked to see how many people say this reflected their life. My teenage years were the 2000s in a big city but was (after seeing this *happily*) sheltered.
With millions and millions of people not only in America but the billions in the world…I’m shocked that you’re shocked how so many people live and grow up this way. It shows how naive the world is.
@@P2Feener305 you’re talking about the world - and I’m talking about a U.S. NY comparable city. I’m well traveled and know that people grow up all sorts of ways. By your logic, no one should be shocked at anything.
I hope we can be able to watch this soon, looks great
you can
@@gah56dx444dzplease let us know
@@gah56dx444dzwhere, it’s not listed anywhere
I can’t find it anywhere either
🤣😂 “hope we can watch it soon” you don’t have internet ?
Can’t find this anywhere. Too bad, was really looking forward to seeing this. Looks interesting
I read that it sucked and the people who we would want to hear from aren't in it, Rosario, Leo, and Chloe(because Harold and Justin aren't with us and the documentary they just blamed Larry Clark for their passing and because they didn't get the money they felt they deserved when they weren't even the stars.) It's Harsh but I'm sure they all agreed to the terms or ignored the terms or didnt read the script in depth
@@Respect2theFallenLoL they were KIDS
just finished watching this documentary. pretty good. idk why this popped in my feed tonight but glad it did. went and looked it up online, had to see it.
Where did you find it?
where is the link to order/stream the documentary?
This moive is epic simply cos it not a movie its a true visual representation of teenagers succumbing to addiction drugs underage sex and spiralling out of control causing emotional and physical harm on one another
I was already living my teenage life like this, smoking, drinking, doing drugs, painting graffiti, but in California. Watching it made me feel connected to kids in other places, especially to the East Coast where I thought we were so different. Scary, but real. Luckily, I focused on graffiti as an art form. I own a mural business, have a family, but still smoke, drink, and do drugs...it is what it is. Live your life.
At a certain point you have to grow up and move beyond the circumstances of your life and ask yourself what your Creator made you for
AMEN brother. You only get one shot at it... Live it up the way you want... Responsibly.
@@BillyJack85Yesir Jesus loves us!
@@dommydee He definitely does. It's a shame so many of us completely ignore it and act like life is our personal carnival.
@@BillyJack85 that’s why I’m in love with this movie Kids, it shows how all of us grew up in some grimey situations and how we acted outside of home but the truth about this movie is to grow up and find Jesus Christ, my favorite scene in the movie is the lil kids smokin on the couch and he confesses with his mouth Jesus is savior and he believes. Having faith like a child is how we’re supposed to believe and that scene is beautiful plus it’s improv!
I need this documentary cos im obsessed with this movie
😅6,m ❤
It's already out
not in germany somehow :-( @@Eli_B3000
people with bad taste often get obsessed with the most depraved subjects.
Where can I watch
The parallel between my life at the time and what was happening in this movie was crazy. Thinking about it drives me crazy. It was a group of us back then. Just a group of 5 and now 3 are dead and one is a fentanyl addict that I give $20 to when I see him on the street. Suicide is no joke and has devastated my life and others around me.
The movie KIDS was my youth. I lived that lifestyle. Best movie EVER!!!
Where can I watch this?
Even today I can ONLY watch this film half way through. Ending too RAW and REAL for Me.
Anyone know where I can watch it looked everywhere no app has it
Where can we watch this documentary??
Kids is crazy, I hung out with harold hunter for a whole day whee. HE came to houston wuth zoo york team
So, when is the doc coming out? Or How can we watch?
Does anyone know where I can watch this? I don’t see it on any streaming service.
All This Mayhem (by the same director) is one of the best docs I've ever seen. Definitely check that out if you like this film.
Seeing Justin and Harold makes me tear up. RIP
Preordered the second I got the newsletter
I watched around 98/99 when I was 12 to 13 and I remember watching and was like, "thats about right how happens sometimes" and then my mom watched and was in so disbelief that this was possible, that life in the streets of big cities was like that. but it was, to be honest, I was one of the skaters....
My grandpa owned a skatepark in New lenox illinois and when I was a sophomore I'm high-school we got a copy on VHS and watched it while I was working the front counter lol
Incredible. This movies fukked my perseption of what I had known as a reality and shaped a new view to the world.......for better or worse, it is what it was, but made an impact.
I’m curious where I can watch this documentary!
Hello 👋🏻 I watched the film and I can sympathize with how some people here feel. I live in Germany and grew up in the punk scene here in the 90s and got to know all kinds of people and youth cultures. Skins (not Nazis), hippies, hardcore, ska, hip-hop and rap, skaters, sprayers, reggae, techno, goth and metal, I've probably forgotten a lot because there was so much new in the history of the GDR in the 90s came when the turning point came (the fall of the Berlin Wall) and it was just a crazy, great time, you could do almost whatever you wanted because both the politicians and the law enforcement officers and authorities had to do with the changes in the country a united country. When I look back now at the age of 45 and sometimes listen to recordings and music from the past, it is amazing how everything has changed, what has become of former friends/acquaintances or that they died from alcohol and drugs. It was an exciting time that radiated freedom. Now I lead a normal life, work, shop and whatever else you do. I'm glad I was able to get to know everyone during this time, but I don't want to go through that again. I'm glad I took the path I've taken so far and I'm excited for what's to come☺️ "What a wonderful world, Louis Armstrong."
Sorry if. my English isn't that good🤦😂😂
How can we watch this doc?
where can I watch this movie?
Shoutout to this dude - he taught me how to roll a blunt.
#Respect.
I was in sixth grade when this movie came out. I remember seeing the previews for it in theaters and I immediately fell in love and wanted to watch it. This was the era where bands like offspring and sound garden we're out but we also bumped that Tupac and biggie and let's not forget the rave house music. It was a huge eclectic mix. Although I was not from the East Coast I was born and raised in the west coast San Diego and it was very much like that in my neighborhood at that time there was a bunch of skaters bumping Rasta smoking ganga drinking 40s anything else like acid, shrooms, whip it's, extasy where strictly recreational use only at kickbacks or House parties and we were all still kids. In fact this was the initial best time because there were no clicks just a huge melting pot of all races of youth having fun and being young. Sadly within a few years a lot of the older kids that we hung and looked up to began dabbling in harder drugs that slowly hit the streets like crystal meth 😢 lost a lot good people to it.
Anyone know where I can watch this documentary?
My question is where the heck can you watch this documentary?
Where can we watch this documentary?
underrated to the main public. so much can be taught and learnt. someone or something in my mind taught me much after seeing this. Truth, I guess.
Where can you watch the documentary
Aah man how did I not know this existed?! I'm on the hunt for it now.
Does anyone know where you buy or stream this. I can’t find it anywhere
This movie changed my life when I was 15 I’m now 40 but I’ve never been addicted to drugs and I’ve never had an std or anything but I used to party hard
Rented this on vhs when it first came out. I'm 39 now. Had a big impact on me. Showed me how to not live like that...
Did I miss the part when this is supposed to be coming out and where?
I hate when they post trailers with no link or info to where the film can actually be watched.
It captured a time that was no exaggeration.
This movie is a classic. I had a copy of it on vhs.
I loved the movie and my life is so much better now than it was then
I am 38 and this was my Childhood
Kids is one of my favorite movies, even though I hate watching it.
Anyone know the piece of music in the 2nd half of the trailer?
Where can we watch this? It says it was made in 2021. In the US its billed as The Kids and reviews are from 2021. I can’t find it anywhere
Damn my parents were lucky to have this 90s experience my dad was 16 and my mom was 18 when this movie launched.
Quero assistir esse documentário. "Kids" de Larry Clark, com roteiro de Harmony Korine, é um dos meus filmes favoritos 🇧🇷

As a Kid of the 90’s this was everyday life for me but it was a culture shock to the world. Now this is RUclips and X.
