    An unforgettable story

    It's not every day that you get to witness someone's journey across 15 years, especially when that someone is as unforgettable as Moses. This film broke my heart and put it back together again. Hopeful, inspiring and deeply felt, I found myself in awe of the narrative's twists and turns, as well as its refreshingly inventive moments - fictionalized scenes and musical performances are artfully woven into the storyline, creating a sense of connection and hope that lingers with me still. This film is a testament to resilience and a reminder of how the process of filmmaking itself can be a conduit for healing and transformation.

    A unique and radically compassionate movie

    I saw this film as part of the 27th United Nations Association International Film Festival in SF. The screening was sold out, so I was fortunate to get to see it.

    This movie is many things -- it is the story of a film maker who in recording his subject, changed his subject's trajectory. It is the story of a musician who became a homeless drug addict -- a kind of person who all too often tends to be viewed as less than human -- viewed through an entirely human and compassionate lens. It is the kind of story humanity needs more of honestly. The ending feels miraculous.

    Mini rant here: homelessness is a manufactured problem. It doesn't have to be this way.

    The Power of Redemption

    Francisco Guijarro's "Moses" is hands down, the best film about homelessness I have ever seen. Pursuing his subject, Moses, for over 14 years, Guijarro paints a heartbreakingly compassionate portrait of a man broken by addiction but never without hope and joy. Moses' humanity will make you think twice about your next interaction with a homeless person. His charisma and dignity steal the show and Guijarro's gentle presence in the film is rarely seen but always felt. Moses the film is a labor of love that has it all. Not only the rise and fall, but the slow hard work of forgiveness and redemption. Bravo!!!

    Masterpiece

    Moses is a deeply moving documentary and a fascinating story of human nature. It's beauty and complexity. Moses proves that humans can shine in the darkest places and when life hits hardest. Great pictures and music. Well paced storyline and unexpected turns of events keep you engaged. Overall a very satisfying experience for the eyes, ears, mind and heart. Watching all this as a documentary and knowing it actually happened and is part of San Francisco's every day life makes it even more impactful and interesting. You will cry and you will laugh too. You'll walk away a better human afterwards.

    Unlikely Angels

    A young graduate begins a short film that, unwittingly, Will forever change both his life and that of a homeless man.

    We often speak at length about all the things we would do to help others-but in the end, we do nothing. It's all empty words and superficial gestures.

    This film is the complete opposite. It stands as an unwavering act of compassion: one person helping another who is wounded and lost. But that help doesn't disappear into the void- It is received, embraces, and returned with LOVE and GRATITUDE.

    This work is a tangible example of what the most noble people throughout history have done. They all shared the same purpose: to serve others with LOVE.
