Reporter Tim Estiloz visited New Orleans in this 1997 story about a group of homeless youth - dubbed by some in the city as "Gutterpunks". Estiloz spent several days with this group of disaffected and indigent young people - many of whom willingly chose to live on the hard - sometimes dangerous, streets of "Pre-Katrina" New Orleans.
Most of these kids lived "day to day" begging for food and money. Some lived in deplorable conditions near the popular French Quarter... unimaginable in the years before Katrina. Estiloz gained the trust of many of these kids... who allowed Estiloz to follow them, interview them and show their difficult life on the streets - an existence that some city administrators and business people in New Orleans frown upon. This is a uniquely candid and sad window into a homeless youth underclass in New Orleans that existed well before Katrina... and also still exists today.
This story was written and produced by Tim Estiloz - who now reports on entertainment for CN8 - The Comcast Network.
