Скачать или смотреть Stories from the Streets: The Homeless' Perspective on Denver's Homeless Problem

The number of people living on the streets of Denver continues to grow, with the pandemic only exacerbating poverty in Colorado's capital city.

Local home and business owners have grown tired of the litter-strewn streets and tent-lined sidewalks, arguing that unsanctioned homeless camps (which are abundant within city limits) are not only bad for business but a public health problem.

Politicians are also divided on the issue, unsure as to how the situation ought to be handled.

While media coverage on the issue of homelessness is of ample supply, the voices of those actually living on the streets is rarely heard.

This documentary aims to tell the stories of those experiencing homelessness to get a better idea of what it is that they go through.

Amplifying the stories of those on the streets could be a way in which Denver can understand how to get people off them.
