Standing by Yourself

An intimate portrait of alienated youth living in Clinton, a small-town suburb of New York, this documentary follows a group of friends as they deal with the tedium of everyday life through anti-social behavior, including drug abuse and crime. Two of the subjects -- the filmmaker Josh Koury's younger brother, Adam, and Adam's best friend, Josh -- are shown to have an especially tight bond, until the latter pushes things too far. This serves as the catalyst for the pair slowly growing apart.
