They came off the streets and out of the shelters...
Filmed across eight U.S. cities on May 1, 1990, the documentary follows homeless activists who simultaneously occupy vacant federally owned houses to protest the lack of affordable housing. Organized with the National Union of the Homeless, the coordinated action challenges government housing policies while documenting the movement from the participants’ perspective.
