Americans With No Address Movie Review

The Americans With No Address team is on a mission to raise awareness and offer solutions to homelessness in America. Through a comprehensive five-production approach, including the documentary “Americans With No Address” and the feature film “No Address,” which will be coming to theaters nationwide on February 28th, they aim to break the cycle of homelessness. These two films are part of a broader effort to build empathy and compassion for those experiencing homelessness. In addition to these powerful films, they have the novelization of the award-winning screenplay, a soundtrack, and an interactive study guide that guides people who want to be part of the solution in their own community.

The Documentary came about first to ensure the accuracy of the “No Address” feature film; our production team toured the country for several weeks, visiting and filming interviews in 20 major cities across 18 states facing various rates of homelessness and interviewed over 175 people. Those interviews inspired the documentary “Americans With No Address,” which captures the essence of what is causing the homeless crisis and portrays what solutions have been implemented and proven to
show positive changes.

This documentary does a great job of moving beyond headlines and talking points. It dives deep into the stories that make up both the community of those experiencing homelessness and the organizations that try to help them. I was impressed with the way the producers were able to expose the challenges of the current bureaucracy (I really wanted to use more colorful language here!) and how most of the solutions the government (both left and right!!) has enacted actually make the issues worse.

As frustrating as it is to learn about how so many of the bureaucratic programs tie the hands of those who are actually helping out on the front lines, it was heartwarming and encouraging to see how these organizations and the people behind them have found ways to overcome the challenges. These groups have numbers and hard evidence of how their programs are making a difference and improving lives. I can only hope that this documentary fuels a move toward moving roadblocks out of their way.

What can you do to help?

• First, watching the documentary provides solution-based suggestions, and we
  highly suggest everyone visit www.AmericansWithNoAddress.com.

• Second, as you will see in the documentary, we visited hundreds of nonprofits
  and organizations on the frontlines, providing resources and services to those
  experiencing homelessness with proven successful outcomes. We suggest you
  connect with one of these organizations in your community to share your time
  as a volunteer or make a financial donation.

• Most importantly, people experiencing homelessness often feel invisible—even
  just one interaction, like saying hello, can change someone’s trajectory of life;
  please begin to see the human side of homelessness.
