Set in 1990s New York City, Kids follows a group of teenagers over the course of one summer day as they drift through skate spots, house parties, and street corners. With a gritty, documentary-style approach, the film portrays youth culture with raw realism. Upon release, Kids drew strong reactions — some called it a powerful cautionary tale, while others criticized it for its graphic content and depiction of adolescence. Despite the controversy, it became a defining film of the ’90s indie era.

New York City Vintage - History & Heritage on Instagram: "In the summer of 1980 New York hit one of its lowest water levels since 1966 reaching just 36.9 percent. A scorching heatwave pushed the city into a full drought emergency and Mayor Ed Koch banned car washing and even serving water in restaurants. This PSA marked the launch of a citywide campaign to get kids involved in conserving water. Keep New York Wet. Save Water. Reposted from @nycmafia_ #newyorkvintage #nycarchives #oldnyc #vintagen
