A raw portrait of life on the forgotten corners of New Haven — where survival is daily, beauty hides in the margins, and dignity fights to be seen.
In the shadows of Yale’s towering reputation lies Fair Haven — a neighborhood too often ignored, its stories erased before they’re told. Here, lives unfold in unfiltered truth: mothers carrying the weight of survival, strangers sharing a cigarette like currency, children navigating innocence in a landscape that forgot them. These frames are not voyeurism — they are witness. They are the proof that beauty, resilience, and humanity live even where hope feels rationed.
