Prince William: We Can End Homelessness

I worked for several years in a homeless shelter in the USA. This documentary and the initiative are bringing together experts (which Prince William flat out says, he is not) to share research and insight. Information sharing is woefully lacking throughout the nonprofit sector.

Sure, this is a very rosey view of the initiative. But it does a good job at humanizing the experience and the people - if that doesn't warm your heart...are you human? There are documentaries which derive from complaint and there are documentaries which derive from hope. This is the latter.

Prince William is a microphone magnet, but does a great job passing the microphone once he's got it. Once he's got your attention, he says "now listen to this expert." He listens, and encourages others to listen. I agree with many individuals responding to the basic classist criticism here (well placed) - would you prefer the elite ignore us? Its not enough to simply say "do something, but no not like that." Money is being put where the mouth is. There's innovation to achieve and it seems like people are now well placed to achieve it.

Most influencers are there to promote themselves, but Prince William is not afraid to let others do the talking and shows a clear willingness to not only discuss the issues but to try new approaches. While he is part of the narrative -- he isn't the narrative -- homelessness is, and his sincerity and knowledge comes through. Each area was discussed in depth -- loved that it wasn't one size fits all.

Heart felt look at what Prince William is doing to bring providers and communities together in a bid to end the cycle of homelessness.

Following his journey to see his vision come to fruition this tracks the first stages of the project.

We hear stories from homeless people, front line workers and those who have benefitted from Homewards.

We see them tackle practical strategies to make sure once a person has experienced homelessness it is never repeated. This involves mental health support, help with addiction and employment so they can be self sufficient, self managing and mentally and physically robust.

A brilliant project with great promise.

This is a well-made and heartfelt documentary. Prince William is the perfect person to shed some light on this worthy and societal-impacting issue. His genuine love and concern for all humans is very evident and it's inspirational. He has the best qualities of his parents and Diana would be enormously proud of what William has accomplished so far in life. He has an analytical mind, a kind heart, and a soul full of light.

I think he'll help do great things in this world, and he's humble enough to know that he can't do it alone. I hope this show helps inspire people to help others when they can.

Great Documentary on dealing with Homelessnes in the United Kingdom. If only organizations and Government could work together to solve this issue. The amount of Government land and people looking for work. This could solve the issue. Love the Royals and Specialy Princess Dianna. But i have found Prince William is the real deal like his mom. Always followed William and what he does. But after watching this Documentary i want to donate my time to help the homeless and people that are struggling. My wife and I already donate food and Toys every Christmas to local Fire Depty to distribute to Families in need.
