A Cry for Help is a photobook by Mary Ellen Mark, one of America's leading female photographers. Mary Ellen Mark is known for her novel Streetwise, which was the basis for the film Meet the Kids, which is set in Seattle and tells the story of street children who are deprived of love from their parents and spend their time stealing, fighting, and sometimes working as prostitutes (the film was directed by her husband Martin Bell). She is a photojournalist who has created documentaries with strong social messages, focusing on people who live in a world away from the general society, such as the mentally ill, prostitutes, circus troupes, and homeless people. As the subtitle "Stories of Homelessness and Hope" suggests, this book is a documentary that focuses on economically poor boys and girls who are homeless or do not have stable housing. The children's somewhat lonely eyes confront us with the reality of "poverty" behind American society, and at the same time, the gaze that seems to entrust hope to the future is a moving and wonderful collection of works.
