Homeless in Boston

This short documentary explores the crisis of homelessness in America. It's told from the perspective of four homeless people living on the streets of Boston. Each one shares a piece of their story and what it's like to be homeless. The film aims to bring awareness to the plight of people living without shelter, food or warmth.

It was produced in 2004 while I was still in college. While it is a little dramatic, the message is an important one, and still needs to be shared.

Typically american. You don't mind spending billions of dollars on stupid wars and Wall Street bailouts, but you can't feel any sympathy with a homeless if he/she can afford a package of cigarettes. Come on man. Think about the black woman in this video, she is clearly very mental ill, she should be at some sort of mental hospital, or nursing home, but instead she is living as an homeless on the street. What a mighty nation huh. Well don't call me anti-american, I just disagree with some things.
