Tu as crié LET ME GO

It's the most terrible tragedy a mother can imagine. Director Anne Claire Poirier's daughter, Yanne, turned to drugs and prostitution. And then she was murdered at age 26. Following the tragedy, Poirier uses her immense talents as a filmmaker to find the strength and courage to transform her devastating personal pain into a cinematic tour-de-force. She unearths her daughter's past in an effort to understand her now that she is gone, and to understand what causes young people to risk their lives for the drugs they believe will set them free. In Tu as crié LET ME GO, Poirier enters the world of Montreal's street people--young drug addicts, prostitutes and people living with AIDS--to reflect upon the events leading to Yanne's tragic death. Searing, moving, Tu as crié LET ME GO is one mother's plea for society to understand the world of drugs and prostitution that draws in so many young people--and to accept some responsibility for the existence of that world.
