Framed paintings of a bed and an angel and an original painting of what I could only think of as MonetвЂ™s Waterlillies on lean covered the otherwise light yellow walls. Two cold McDonaldвЂ™s burgers sat on the coffee table in their wrappers. A kidвЂ™s show about a rabbit played to no one.

The trek ended back in CurtisвЂ™s apartment, a small, dark living room with two deep-seated sofas around a big screen TV whose screen had been damaged, making the picture look muffled under yellow oil. I asked one of the younger guys in CurtisвЂ™s crew if he had hopes to ever leave the Bluff, and he kind of grinned and said he wasnвЂ™t sure, but that the one way out he knew of was вЂњto use my knowledge, just like Tupac.вЂќ Damon Russell, the filmвЂ™s director, told me later that every local dope boy gets buried by the same funeral home. The owner came out from behind the glass to tell Curtis he was not welcome, proceeded as he is his by his own rep. With no local grocery, the only nearby place to buy food or anything else was a corner store or a liquor store, where while visiting the latter to buy water after hours spent in the sun a fight almost broke out. Truly, life in the Bluff seemed like urban wilderness, a kind of wild west set in destroyed suburbs.

вЂњBeggars ainвЂ™t begginвЂ™,вЂќ Curtis told Michael. More stories of recent violence, including one about a 15-year-old who was recently killed trying to barricade his homeвЂ™s door against robbers, reinforced that. I had to remind myself at several times how if I were here alone and beyond cameras it would be a wholly different story, particularly at night.

One of CurtisвЂ™s crew grabbed a handful of free condoms with a smile and said to himself, вЂњI use these in five minutes.вЂќ Michael seemed particularly moved by the presence of this establishment, and recorded an impromptu plea to Obama to make this a nationwide program. We visited a random safe house pretty much in the middle of nowhere, independently run by a kind old woman who regularly gave away free HIV and hep-C testing, as well as free food and clothes and syringes for anyone who came in. For a place as notoriously dangerous as this one, peopleвЂ™s general tone was positive, and good hearted. вЂњThe trick is not being able to leave the ghetto,вЂќ he told us, вЂњthe trick is coming back.вЂќДespite the surrounding damage, everyone seemed in good spirits. As we came along down streets lined with houses that looked like theyвЂ™d come through a hurricane, boarded over and abandoned, torn to shit or half burnt down, Michael sat at the window looking out and thinking aloud about the strange shift in terrain. Most seemed to want their neighborhood kept to itself.

I remember realizing we were getting near the Bluff when passing a group of men standing on the street shouted, вЂњNo pictures!вЂќ Most of the people we ran into throughout the afternoon not involved with the film made a point of this: Fuck cameras, and fuck you for aiming one at me. Atlanta is interesting in that cultural and economic divisions can often change from block to block, with hardly any bleed-over between expensive loft apartments and projects. It was hot and there were eight of us packed into a large black SUV, though we didnвЂ™t have to drive too long from the expensive midtown hotel where Michael was staying to the hood.
