STORIES OF US: CAMP SECOND CHANCE
This documentary film aims to build a bridge of compassion by showing how much more we are connected to one another while putting a face to the homeless demographic through their personal stories that I captured when I stayed at a homeless camp in Seattle in the winter. Homeless people are, at the very heart of this, people. In giving a voice to their stories, I hope to humanize them, so society can identify more readily with what has become a nameless, faceless population.
