about a person in the documentary, 19 September 2005
Author: (xcoalchamber666x@yahoo.com) from Czech Republic
Hi, I am Jani Beck. I am listed as having been homeless and in the documentary on this website. It is true that I am in the documentary, but it is NOT true that I was homeless. I was hanging out with a few of my homeless friends back then, and the people doing this documentary came. They asked us if we wanted to be in it and told us what it was about. I told them right away, that I don't want to be in it because I was NOT homeless. But they said that I should be in it anyway, just as a friend of the homeless, so I thought, okay, why not. As they started filming they went down the line and then came to me. The first question that was asked was "How long have you been homeless for?" I was really confused at first, but then since I did not want to spoil their film, I played along and said "Not long" or something like that. Well, I just wanted to let you know that I was never homeless and in this, by mistake, I believe you could say.

A moving movie!, 12 November 2004
Author: DaphneCharlotte-1 from CA
This movie grabs the viewer from the start. I have seen homeless people briefly and have helped them on occasion, never feeling threatened nor intimidated by anyone, but still feeling a little afraid. Seeing them and learning about their stories on screen gives me a completely different picture! Tommy Wiseau did a great job of portraying the homeless as well as the LA Mission Director, and the Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, interspersed with candid improvised urban encampments which say a lot about the situation. The viewer is drawn in to imagining him or herself there in a way not felt before, even upon seeing these things in real life. This movie should be seen by everyone in America!

Great documentary, 11 December 2004
Author: Brandenkong from san francisco, ca
I enjoyed watching this documentary about the homeless. I would like to see the homeless in the USA because this only showed homeless in one area. I am from an area where homeless are a dime a dozen and I would never even talk to them. This documentary makes me feel like I am having a conversation with the homeless. This wasn't as long and boring as I thought because I am not a fan of documentaries but this one was enjoyable to watch. It made me see homeless in a better light. I will keep this movie as part of my collection of great movies. I wished my film teacher would show this documentary over their old ones because this is more up to date and we can relate to it.
