Movie Night for Housing Rights, March 7th



Uncharted: The Truth Behind Homelessness is a recently filmed documentary about a struggle between homeless people, homeless advocates, and government homeless services in Indianapolis. On March 7th at 5 pm, The Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Lauderdale will be hosting a free filming of the screening. After the screening, the filmmaker is going to join via video conference and everyone can have a discussion along with some refreshments. 

As criminal trials for sharing food and dates for lawsuits against the City proceed for many of the "food sharing outlaws," it's worth asking a few questions about "the truth behind homelessness." One of the questions most prevalent here and in the film's subject city of Indianapolis is, why is conflict between homeless people and government services for  the homeless so commonplace? And how are these conflicts ever actually resolved in a way that benefits those that are suffering?
