Lost Angels: Skid Row is My Home
77 min.
A look at life in Skid Row, an area in downtown Los Angeles with one of the largest concentrations of homeless people in the country (around 2,000). Even though the majority of these people struggle with mental illness and drug addiction, they receive minimal assistance and largely fend for themselves. Despite this, many of them remain altruistic, courageous, and engaged with the world.
