About the project
Right now, the Sacramento homeless community is in crisis -- from sweeps, a lack of resources, and an unjust system. A recent report found that there are now more homeless people in Sacramento than in San Francisco.
Bright Coast Productions & Jolie Media are teaming up to produce a documentary about this crisis. The two of us Nick Anderson & Ian Lee are a team consisting of a local filmmaker & a progressive union organizer who understand Sacramento's history and have a vested interest in seeing the situation improve.
The Steps
We must educate & activate the larger Sacramento community around this crisis.
We plan to speak to and interview a wide range of people including politicians, academics, nonprofits, and of course those who are experiencing homelessness firsthand. We plan on hiring a film crew to professionally produce & edit our film.
At the end of this project, we plan to host public viewings of our documentary.
Why we‘re doing it
Democracy is not a spectator sport. Our institutions only act when there is public consensus and public pressure to act.
We wish to activate the larger Sacramento community around this crisis.
