New Documentary on Homelessness Available on Video
"The Homeless Home Movie" is a full-length documentary produced by Pat Hennessey in collaboration with homeless people. The award-winning movie, originally shown on PBS, is a thought-provoking video on homelessness. It interweaves the personal stories of five very different homeless people, complemented by the views of two advocates whose radically different ideas create a powerful and provocative debate throughout the film. It creates a diverse portrait of homelessness that will provoke thought and discussion about the social, psychological and political dimensions of poverty, homelessness and welfare.

"The Homeless Home Movie" is widely considered to be the best and most broadly applicable case study available on the scope and diversity of homelessness in America.

To obtain a VHS copy, send $48 plus $4.50 for shipping and handling, payable to Pat Hennessey, at Media Visions, 1518 N.E. 4th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55413.
