‘Street Trash’ Director Ryan Kruger On Taking On The Cult Classic
In 1987, a gnarly cult classic was born: Street Trash, a disgusting tale about contaminated alcohol and the unhoused people who are unfortunate enough to drink it. Now, almost four decades later, writer and director Ryan Kruger (Fried Barry) is taking on his own version of the tale, and has gone even bigger, grosser, and goopier than its predecessor.
Read the full synopsis below:
In the year 2050, global economic turmoil has destroyed the middle class in Cape Town, South Africa, which is now divided between the ultra-rich and the displaced. Ronald and a group of fellow houseless friends uncover a plot by the local government to ‘wash away’ the houseless population with a sinister chemical agent called ‘V.’ Now, they must risk everything to expose the truth and resist a society that’s determined to erase them.
We spoke with Kruger about getting goopy, why this film is more important than ever, and how he was the perfect man for the job.
