The film Napper has delivered adds necessary layers to a conversation that is only becoming more urgent as the gap between L.A.'s have and have-nots widens at a frightening pace.

Both social history and a cry for social justice, this is the best documentary on society's lower depths since "Dark Days".

While the narration never quite clicked for me, the subjects of this documentary provide ample insights and quandaries to prod the viewer to keep their own internal monologue.

Saw this in my economics class. It really helps you appreciate just how much we have, while enlightening us to the fact that the most underprivileged of people still find happy lives for themselves.

I feel so blessed to live in Canada, where we have access to health care of all varieties, including mental health. This movie mostly boiled down to the fact that mental health facilities no longer exist in most parts of the United States and therefore people are thrown onto the streets or into prisons.
