*Following the screening, Martha Ryan, Founder, Shellena Eskridge, Homeless Prenatal Program executive director, Jacquelynn Evans, HPP staff (whose story is told in the film), and the filmmakers will be discussing the challenges families in San Francisco face and what we need to do to address the housing crisis. 

*Filmed over 5 years, this feature-length documentary looks at inequality in San Francisco through the lens of five residents as they fight to stay housed. The film features a mosaic of strangers bound together by their reliance on this system of single-room occupancy hotels to keep a roof over their heads and homelessness at bay.

*While their stories are unique, their attempts to break free of cyclical traumas and crushing structural forces is a universal story whose outcome will foretell the future of the American city.

*Notes from the film’s producers.
