Audience Member Cery insightful film. A pleasure to watch from start to finish. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Excelente documental sobre los homeless de downtown LA. esas historias humanas q te dejan preguntando Por que? Aun hay esperanza Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the best documentary I've ever watched on netflix. Highly recommend watching it Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
