What happens when a Homeless person is given $100,000? from Reversal of Fortune

[AliceinNIRVANA11]

I'll do it when ever i can get some extra money to buy an inexpensive video camera off ebay.

Buy me one and i'll do it!!!

I'm just always broke

[mightybuffoon]

Can you give us an update on when you think you'll put this on YouTube? A friend of mine told me about this video and I would like to see it. Thanks!

[cammybammy]

please someone where can i find this documentary online??

[AliceinNIRVANA11]

@cammybammy Buy me a video camera and I'll film it for you! Other than that....good luck!

[bootkill]

@drewdonham you been looking for this documentary for a long time I see. My step father produced this film. It was a total flop. A lot of people were disgusted with the outcome. I'll upload it when I got a chance i have the whole film

[AliceinNIRVANA11]

@bootkill Your step father produced this!!! That's cool! Yeah, put the whole thing up if you can!

The movie may have flopped but they were on Oprah and a lot of people want to see it.

I liked it, i thought it was really cool!

thanks

[AliceinNIRVANA11]

@bootkill Have you put the whole film on YouTube yet, of Reversal of Fortune???

[AdelinaHairDesign]

hey do you know where i can get this documentary?

[i3igpete]

spoiler: he ends up blowing it on stupid stuff like a BRAND NEW TRUCK.

[straightupmenace]

I seen this guy on Oprah and been wanting to watch this ever since, But could never find the whole video.

[JustinCase10261]

man i gotta say i got choked up a bit....you see him grab a stack of bills and just look at it...it's like alien to him. Most people would scream, jump up and down and you know for a fact this man is waiting on it to be a prank or too good to be true. I grew up poor, cheated by a bitch aunt out of an inheritance and had to make it on my own. But God Bless this man, i dont care how ya make it, just as long as you do. good video man, damn good video.

[katlady80]

@mjb13cell: Totally off topic BUT you seem to enjoy stereo-typing people less fortunate than you don't you?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A WELFARE OFFICE?

HAD TO RAISE 4 KIDS AFTER THE FATHER RAN OFF?

WORKED 3 MINIMUM WAGE JOBS AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO PAY ALL

YOUR BILLS &. FEED YOUR FAMILY?

Have you ever had to go hungry?

Have you had to spend all day at a welfare office filling out 50 forms just to get only $ 10.00 in food stamps?

welfare chk of $100 per month for a family of 4?

wow RICH NOT!

[magicalhearingman]

@mjb13ell lol a single parent that's most likely raking in obscene amounts of money from their community through welfare- slowly but surely destroying their own community.

[gtrjoe68]

Did they ever release this on DVD???

[absgawd]

How did you record the 2 minutes? It doesnt come on direct tv at all. If you need a video camera just borrow one from the store then return it when you done. Thats what the guy who filmed "my date with drew" did,lol.

what kind of camera you need?

craigslist in your area or ebay can get you a video camrera for probably under $100 if you look around.

I really wanted to see this film for a long time myself.

[automatto]

what's this movie called?????????

[gtrjoe68]

@automatto Reversal of fortune. The documentary.



[Kunoichify]

how did he not see the camera..?

[12345dorian678910]

Thats so nice!

[evsystem]

@mjb13ell You have a really good point. It costs a lot to be a single parent. I guess they gave it to a homeless person because he had no money, and suddenly it's 100,000 dollars

[vonsusername]

@evsystem actually the documentary was an experiment to see what a homeless man would do with a 100k and the end is unexpected

[jxsilicon9]

What happens when you give someone that is a drug addict and drunk that can't manage money $100k?He loses it all and probably ends up in more debt.

[MexicanBoy7272]

@jxsilicon9 He eats a meal that isn't from the garbage.

[atxvegeta]

i been trying to get this movie for over a year i cant find it enyware.

[laelper]

I'm trying to get a video camera to record the whole thing, i just never seem to have a spare $150, unfort.

If you have DVR, check or search Reversal of Fortune on Showtime or the Movie Channel, but beware....there's a movie called Reversal of Fortune, so don't get your hopes up!!!

When i get a camera and post the whole documentary, i'll let you know!!!

[thisisgame]

@laelper Please let me know also. I don't have cable and its not on dvd so I don't think I have a way or seeing it.

[drewdonham]

@laelper thank you, im sure alot of people would appreciate it since it is so difficult to find

[drewdonham]

@laelper hey dude, just wonderin if it was possible for you to upload it yet. its been over a year an my interest has not gone away. neither has my luck in finding it. I even contacted showtime to see next time it would be on. I have 100k and wanted to see what he is doing different then me. thanks either way, you would be the god damn man if you could upload it tho

[Drapehs]

@laelper That would be great if you could. You can't find this anywhere except Showtime :(

[plug4lake]

you know where i can watch the full thing? looks interesting

[laelper]

lol

[drewdonham]

@laelper ive been waiting over two years to watch this stupid fucking documentary. how is it possible that i find websites that i can watch new movies that are in theaters right now and not find this. your too poor to be able to upload this movie laelper. WELL THEN FUCK YOU AND I HOPE YOU STAY THIS POOR FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE YOU PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT. FUCK YOU AND THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS YOU USELESS FUCK!!!!!

[AliceinNIRVANA11]

@drewdonham It's not a question of just simply uploading the movie when i have it saved on DVR. Yes, i am this poor and can't afford a fucking thing, your right, i feel the frustrasion, it's annoying. If you have so much money then buy me an inexpensive video camera and send it to me you cheap skate, for $100 off ebay!

[laelper]

That too!

[Ataensic]

He proved that the reason people are homeless is because of the many, many poor decisions that are made. It has nothing to do with societal oppression, family background, etc. i.e. All of the typical liberal excuses.

[LSUcHamp606]

@Ataensic You're an idiot. Really. There is no hope for you... 

[Ataensic]

@LSUcHamp606 Hope is for the poor.

[TheDrFunkinstein]

yo this brought a fucking tear to my eye watching this.... if that was fake thats jsut inhumain, put ur self in his shoes how would u feel diging through garbadge for cans to recycle and u come across this briefcase with $100, 000 in it. if that shit was a joke, seriouslly who ever did that joke needs to fucking die.... if it was real then my god i know how he feels and thats why i would be in shock and probly wouldnt move for about 4 hours. Look not just through ur own eyes, but through others.

[laelper]

@TheDrFunkinstein IT'S REAL!!! i know what you mean though, but it's 100% real! It's a documentary on Showtime called Reversal of Fortune, to see what would happen if you gave a homeless man $100,000 and he basically did all you can really do with 100 grand. He got his teeth fixed, now he looks like anyone else. he was on Oprah with the filmaker and said that he should have bought a less expensive truck instead of his $35,000 dream truck and eventually spent all the money.What you do w/100k!

[laelper]

It's NOT "Pointless"!

Psychologists say that the Homeless serve a big purpose because they're a reminder that if you don't work OR You squander away all your money.....this is what can happen to You!

But, i know what you mean. It's kinda funny!

[grimestar2008]

this guy is a fukin asshole he is now homeless and has nothing left of the money pointless to watch!!!!!

[laelper]

Pay Pal me $25 and i'll rent a video camera and film my t.v screen and put it up! That's all i can do, for now!

I want to put it up!!!

Help!

[laelper]

I need a darn video camera to do it and i keep not having enough money to go out and rent a video camera to put it up!

Send me $25 and I'll go and do it!!!

[laelper]

it was on the Movie Channel. "Search" on your dvr thing.

hopefully soon, i can find a way to put this thing up. You tube Only does 10 min. at a time.

It's o.k, but interesting. i wish i still had the Oprah one too.

[straightupmenace]

Where can i watch the full documentary at? I seen this guy on oprah in 2006 but never seen the documentary.Is the full version on youtube anywhere?

[laelper]

I will try to put it up somehow, hopefully soon!

[ava0000]

This movie really is impossible to find anywhere... too bad, sounds interesting

[duffmanhb]

You don't understand, A LOT of people have been looking for this documentary for ages and Showtime has already stated they have no plans on ever showing it again, much less releasing it. You would be doing a lot of people a favor if you managed to upload it.

[laelper]

@duffmanhb Showtime said that? I must have gotten really lucky then because i found it that one time and saved it on Tevo. i still have it. For some reason i can't do more than a minute with my my weak computer and flpi video camera.

I'll try and put it on somehow

Thanks

[TheRatchetcitygoon]

@duffmanhb I watched it last night on showtime on demand if you have comcast cable you can watch it

[laelper]

It's called "Reversal of Fortune!

I believe it's a Showtime program, but for some reson you can find it on the Movie Channel.

If you have a search on your t.v., type in Reversal of Fortune, but don't confuse it with the Movie with the same name.

[Hockeyvalley]

What is this program called? :)

[AiRamosPro]

Wtf!!?? So you just gonna put the first part of this? lol

[laelper]

@AiRamosPro It's not necessarily the first part

we're lucky that we get to see this

i looked forever to find this documentary

like i said i can only put up a little time for some reason???

Look for it on the Movie Channel

[laylo4000]

ya, try and put it on here. 

[laelper]

Anyone there!!! Hello, hello, hello....Echo!

Sigh!

[laelper]

Look on the internet at Showtime or the Movie Channel for "Reversal of Fortune! It's on there. For some reason, probably memory, i can't even download more that a few minutes at a time. The documetary is very good and interesting, but so realistic that it's kind of boring! If someone really want me to try and put the whole thing on here, maybe i'll try by taking it to someone, but that might cost a lot of money. Maybe i can do it if i find a breifcase with a $100,000 in it. ha ha

[drewdonham]

@laelper bullshit! i cant find it anywhere what the fuck

i tried showtime the movie channel and illegal downloads u idiiot , where is it, download it if u got it

[laelper]

@drewdonham Frustrating isn't it! Sorry! Try not talking to people all mean like that....it helps!

I tried putting more on, but it would'nt take the amount of time over a minute or so

It IS on the internet, "where you can find when it comes on Showtime or the Movie Channel", NOT the video on the internet.

Go to Showtime or The Movie Channell .com and it might show when it's coming on next.

If you have a Te-vo/DVR type in Reversal of Fortune. That's the name of the documentry. That's how i fnd

[10esquire]

@laelper - Could you please, please post the whole thing on 2Shared.com

[10esquire]
