I get asked a lot what is like for people who are homeless. It is difficult to describe what it is to be “homeless”.
Recently I watched a movie that displays it really well. The movie is Where God Left His Shoes (http://www.wglhs.com/). It shows what happens people are kicked out of housing and the daily struggles they face. I challenge you to watch it and see what it makes you think of. It is the best movie that involves a homeless family that I have ever seen, and is, in my experience, very true to life.
[Hugh's Note: While I have not yet seen the movie Chad mentions, I would also recomend The Soloist as a movie with a realistic depiction of the pain of homelessness and the triumph that can come through relationships.]
I would love to purchase this movie – Where God Left His Shoes – anyone know where one is available?
I found a few on Amazon.com for $30.00 with shipping. There are also a couple on Ebay right now. You can also download it for keeps for $17.99 on blockbuster. Not a real mainstream movie, so 30 bucks is about average…
