A tough new cinema-veritéfilm opened this past weekend. Heaven Knows What is about a young heroin addict trying to survive on the streets of New York. The film is fiction, but just barely. It stars a young woman named Arielle Holmes, who was homeless and an addict in real life. We hear from the filmmakers who discovered Holmes on the streets when she was 19.
