Myron Higgins was brought up in the row homes made famous in The Wire. As a child he was controversially used by scientists in a lead poisoning study. At 18 he won $250,000 compensation. But the damage was already done. He blew every cent in just 6 months. Now in his 30s, his documentary tells his own story and that of others in his situation. This problem is still going on.
