Very worthwhile documentary , it's a shame the constant piano drowns out the interviewees personal testimonies.
It's a national disgrace, that a country as rich and prosperous as the United States of America , allows this to happen. Billions invested in war and not enough to house their own people. A lot of the unfortunate people have harrowing personal histories that are confounded by addiction and mental illness. The "God, "God" , "God" guy is tedious though. People who base their whole existence and their identity on the bible get on my nerves.
They should use the narcissistic sociopath/psychopath Gavin Newsom as a Guy Fawlkes in a big fire 🔥to keep warm!!
I've heard takes of a lot of the wildfires being started by the homeless. Is it any wonder when they are treated with such disdain and contempt!?

In cities like Los Angeles, homelessness is an issue that constantly confronts every resident and tourist alike, but it can be so hard to know how to respond. It's hard not to be overwhelmed, and too easy to forget that this "issue" is really composed of many individual people's stories.
This documentary does a wonderful job of telling several of those stories, with skillful cinematography and score selections that portray the intermingled beauty and suffering in Los Angeles. Instead of trying to present an oversimplified solution to a big problem, it instead shows the meaningful hope that people are experiencing through the power of faith and receiving God's love-ranging from a dramatic and visible transformation to the quiet strength to just keep going.
The film left a deep emotional impact on me, gave me a better understanding of what my neighbors are going through, and encouraged me to know that God is really working.

Compelling story of the broken yet beautiful city that is Los Angeles. The heroes journey is well composed through different character development and perseverance. This documentary is able to instill hope in the viewers heart, whichever direction one is coming from. It is stories like these that need to be told more as the mass issue of homelessness can often feel overwhelming and make one apathetic to it. The major component that is hope, redemption, and faith - in this documentary can resonate to the viewer no matter what walk of life they might be on. Hhighly recommend watching this and get involved!

Really enjoyed the layout of this documentary. Hearing first hand accounts of what life is/was like for homeless during the pandemic was informative and had me questioning city policies. Unfortunate to see how many people are affected by drugs and how that affects the rest of their decisions. Thank you for taking the time to bring light to an otherwise "swept under the rug" problem.
