Anne-Marie Mediwake looks at two innovative arts-based programs that are helping street kids and at-risk youth find a way out. One program matches street kids with Canadian directors to learn the craft of filmmaking; and a former prison guard turned 11 illegal graffiti artists into a success story. Lenny Kravitz, P. Diddy and others now commission their unique artwork. Anne-Marie also checks out a self-esteem building program called "Beauty Night" for young women working in the sex trade.
