I was lucky enough to see Homeless Ashes last night at Everyman Baker Street. I can honestly say I am blown away. Blown away by the performances, directing and cinematography. And blown away by how brave, honest and beautiful it was. It shows human nature in its rawest form. And highlights the chain of problematic causes it takes to lead an individual down the 'wrong path'. I truly believe this film will make an impact on how we see homeless people. It should and it will make us see individuals without homes, as human beings, like ourselves. With stories, and families. Marc Zammit clearly is a very talented director and performer, but what makes him unique is that he is in tune with the human heart and has clearly illustrated this in his feature film debut. I am so excited to see what he does next. And what this beautiful film will do for our community.
