paparay

I watched this to the end thinking there MUST be some redeeming value in showing the inside of a homeless encampment by the river. So surprises here... smoking, drugs, most of the folks don't or can's hold down a job. How this got an 8.7 star rating at the time of my viewing it on YouTube, I suspect a handful of folks who didn't already know what that kind of life was like were hoping a high rating would make people watch it, feel sorry for the homeless and volunteer to help them. Interviews with volunteers and with the homeless filled in the ugly details of how they lived. The depressing statistics of how few of the homeless kept what nice places to live, sure was not surprising or gave cause for much hope.

I read all the reviews that gave this collection a rating of 1. I watched it just to se why so many viewers thought it was only a 1 out of 10. I give it 4. Of course, I went into viewing it knowing about the separate shorts. Each one left you with the idea that, "Here's how it could have ended." I thought the acting was ok, certainly not bad, as some reviewers have said. Know what you're getting into before you watch it. Let yourself be entertained, and I'll bet you'll come away rating it higher than a 1.
