Homeless In Seattle: True Stories | Documentary
In 2019, I was lost, facing my own addiction's, struggling to find peace and meaning. Out of an act of desperation, I sought to change my perspective. This journey began downtown Seattle, in the midst of an explosion in homelessness and being exposed to more suffering than I'd ever imagined. One day each week, for nearly 8 months, I walked around trying to meet anyone that was willing to offer their time. I was completely shocked at the vulnerability and openness of these individuals.
