    I've seen this before, but watching it again. This has to be at least 10 years old, and I hope that these families made it out of poverty.

    I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA. What is happening is criminal, while our politicians rally for votes for themselves from people who are in situations just, which is a large minority right now. What happens when they are voted into office? It’s what constituents? Homelessness IS an epidemic right now and getting worse. As a senior member of this in the community. I’ve seen a lot but nothing like this. Children shouldn’t have to be this mature or suffering. These children are older in mind than their years. The situations are not the children’s fault. We need to fix this problem, and our economy.

    It’s a fantastic documentary film, but it’s been on YT before for many years. Maybe on another channel, I’m not sure. Definitely worth watching. But it’s quite old now.

    Maybe we should all leave the country and then come back across the border and ask for asylum due to economic hardship in your home country. According to the Biden/Harris administration, you can get lots of free stuff; money, food, housing, cars and jobs.

    Okay, all you need to do is go down on your knees and accept that Jesus Christ is your lord and saviour and give me 10% of everything you make once a week.
