Sweetheart Deal

Institute History

Description

Seattle’s Aurora Avenue is a mean stretch of an old highway, the ugly underbelly of a gleaming and prosperous city, lined with cheap motels and lost souls. Driven by their addiction to heroin, four women working as prostitutes risk everything, from deadly overdose to rape to HIV infection to murder. “Sweetheart Deal” is an intimate look inside their world, a harrowing portrait of life without a safety net.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
