You must check out MediaStorm for all things multimedia.
In particular, you must watch The Ninth Floor by Jessica Dimmock
I grabbed the summary of the piece from their website, so here it is:
In 2004, anywhere from 20 to 30 young addicts lived on the ninth floor of an elegant narrow building overlooking Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The squatters had turned the sprawling apartment into a dark, desperate and chaotic place.
People hustled, scored, shot and smoked wherever they could. Friends conned each other for their next hit. They slept on piles of clothes on the floor. The power was shut off; the bathroom unusable; the kitchen filled with garbage. Anything of value was sold off.
For nearly three years, Jessica Dimmock followed this crew documenting what happened to them after eviction, how they fought to get clean, sank deeper into addiction, went to jail, started families and struggled to survive.

I just watched The Ninth Floor, and I thought it was amazing. The narration and the music coincided really well with the photos, and the photos captured great moments. Some of the facial expressions were very memorable. I thought overall the piece was paced very well. It moved slowly enough for you to take in what you were seeing but not so slowly that you felt impatient.
