"You just really wanted to know where these stories were going."
— KJ Mohr, festival director, Maryland Film Festival
In Baltimore, "squeegeeing", or washing car windshields at stoplights for tips, has become a hot button political issue, with residents projecting their dismay about their city onto the teenagers who undertake this labor. Squeegee intimately documents the lives of four such teenagers, highlighting how the money they earn from squeegeeing can be difficult to put aside for the more abstract rewards of education or job training. Employing an innovative participatory lens that finds much of the film shot by those it depicts, Squeegee is a vital snapshot of life as a teenager in contemporary urban America.
