Narrated by Catherine Keener, LOST ANGELS: SKID ROW IS MY HOME takes an uncompromising yet life-affirming look at the lives of eight remarkable individuals, people who have found a way to make a life for themselves within the community of homelessness. The film shows how their descent into society's basement has been exacerbated by the forces of gentrification and the increasing criminalization of homeless people, while exposing the draconian changes to the mental health care system that have brought US here. With the support of a vast array of advocates, especially the services of LAMP, the mission featured in the Jamie Foxx/ Robert Downey Jr.. film, THE SOLOIST, many residents of Skid Row have found a way to stick together and fight back. Narrated by actress Catherine Keener, LOST ANGELS demonstrates how proactive approaches to homelessness-most specifically that of providing housing-are helping many to recover from mental illness and substance abuse and to find stability. For many, Skid Row is, improbably, the last place to find refuge and build a life of meaning, proving that sometimes home is where the help is.

Hidden from tourists in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.
I saw this on Cable. I had been to Los Angeles's Skid Row many times. Hidden away from tourists and show how the poor have to survive there. And the attempt to clean it up. I don't know how long that happened. Ironically, some of them are happy living that life from day to day.

This can happen to anyone even you so have compassion
We live in a world where we are so busy with being busy that we forget about what's going on around us and how serious it can get. These are people who were just like us who lost their way this is a must have.

well worth the experience
This is a good documentary to give a reference towards gratitude and appreciation for simple things in life whether it's for those who've been on skid row or those who've never been and struggle with where they're at now.
