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.
