Samaritan: The Mitch Snyder Story

Not only did I see the movie several times but I was a close friend of the late Mitch Snyder. I spent many hours and days at C.C.N.V on 2nd and D in our nations capital. I had the opportunity to participate in several demostrations with Mitch in both D>C and Pittsburgh. I think Martin Sheen did A good job portraying such a intense individual. I remember Mitch saying to his staff not to play the movie I guess because he had either seen it too many times or perhaps he did'nt like it who knows. Anyway I wish the movie was more popular as it is very difficult to find on the general market. In fact I am looking for another copy as I loaned mine out just to not get it back. I recommend this movie to anyone who is a volunteer, plan on being a volunteer or wants to find out what it's all about. The movie needs to be rereleased so people can have the great experience of seeing who Mr. Snyder was and what he ment to the movement against homelessness and the many other important issues of his time that he fought so hard to bring public awareness to. He was my inspiration to be a advocate and thats what I do today.I give this movie 100 stars Thank you!
