The Soft White Underbelly series by Mark Laita is hardcore. It is not for the faint-hearted.

This work is a critically important time capsule for our generation. It is not sugar-coated. Some even consider it controversial.

The series features real people going through real things: killers, prostitutes, addicts, homeless, and much more. It is their voices, quite literally right off the streets.

Some of the videos are mini-series where we can see the progress or backsliding of real people in real-time.

Amanda’s first video in her story mini-series is nothing short of agonizing to watch.

Irrespective of what you think about the series, we all have to know these stories exist. These people exist.

Honestly,

Ed.
