Fifth Estate on Homelessness

The Fifth Estate did a show about homelessness in the DTES; I found it pretty interesting. The Youtube videos are segmented, so I picked one that answered a question I had been pondering: How do homeless people sleep? It was sort of touched upon in Streets of Gold, but this gentleman does a better job of explaining the situation. I'll admit I teared up a bit when he described his lack of roots.
He also has a good take on the Insite Clinic, and its role in the homeless community. During the interview he sort of describes this internal conflict he constantly goes through, and rationalizes its endless cycle.



Check out the other segments of the video if you have time.
