Backstreet Bandits. Living on roofs and in back alleys and raiding garbage cans, the urban raccoons of North America have made a big success of city life. This award-winning film finds them thriving among the traffic and skyscrapers, using the network of storm drains to get around town, and setting up home in people's chimneys and attics. Photographer Barrie Britton captures memorable scenes of the raccoons' family life, including a mother carefully leading her babies down a chimney stack, 40 feet off the ground.
