Homeless in Paradise
| \\fs-mcl01\MD1\flash\ndd\streams\_definst_\123_7921.flv did not load! |
Homeless in Paradise follows the intimate journey of four fascinating people who are homeless. As they survive on the streets, Rick, Donna, Simon, and Faye struggle with addiction and mental illness, while receiving support from a city in crisis. Experiencing homelessness through their eyes, we will come to understand a political and social system that draws controversy from all sides of the political arena.
Coming together in a 50 minute documentary, the drama of four people like us, the politics of a region, and the economy of a population are brought into sharp focus.
By trying to do the right thing, however, this city may be doing something horribly wrong. In most U.S. cities, residents pay roughly fifteen to thirty cents per person per year on homeless services. In the city of Santa Monica, that amount is closer to one hundred dollars. But how is it spent, and what effect do the programs have on the psyches of the programs recipients?
In this city so many people want to do the right thing, but disagree on what exactly that is. What Santa Monica is facing now, is something arising in urban centers across the country. Neither a cry for justice, nor the promotion of a particular agenda, HOMELESS IN PARADISE spotlights a national problem by framing it within the dramatic struggles of real people.

"Homeless in Paradise" should be applauded for taking the time to look at a subject and a part of the population that many people would probably rather not think about."

Wireless Users:
To bring as much quality to your streamed video as possible, each film is streamed at the highest practical bitrate, balancing speed with quality.
Generally speaking, wireless connections are a smaller connection (maximum of 54bps), and may sometimes result in "choppy" viewing of the film when bandwidth or connection strength is reduced. If you are on a slower connection of any kind, we recommend that you select a lower bitrate to stream your film.
