Main Questions

As you watch the documentary, think about this main questions that I believe the creators had in mind:

  • Are homeless people a nuisance?

  • Do homeless people deserve to be homeless? (all/some/none)

  • Is the "system" too harsh against homeless or poor people? 

  • What does "poor" really mean? (vs how it is perceived)

  •  Does the government provide enough assistance to those living in poverty?

  • Should poor people have to rely on volunteers for health care?
