Video Documentary

Like music, film has the ability to capture and communicate life in a unique and compelling way. The interns from the Greater Love Institute 2004 (Summer internship program for young adults) shot almost 4 hours of unscripted interviews of women and men on the streets and in the shelters of Philadelphia, PA. These interviews have been edited and mixed with additional B-Footage to create the DVD component of this project. Here individuals have the opportunity to speak for themselves, saying what academic essays and art cannot. This short documentary (approx. 15 mins.) is an ideal conversation starter for groups interested in engaging the realities of poverty and particularly homelessness.

About The Souls of Poor Folk

The Souls of Poor Folk is a joint effort by Greater Love Movement and Peace of Music that will engage listeners, viewers, and readers with thoughtful and challenging perspectives on the various aspects of poverty and homelessness in America. These messages are reaching audiences via the following vehicles: an original music compilation (CD), an original film documentary (DVD), a published collection of original essays, an interactive website, and a series of events featuring aforementioned materials. Through this coordinated effort, artists, scholars, social service providers, and other concerned citizens are reaching a large portion of our society and encouraging them to live their lives with care, concern, and remembrance of those who are far too often forgotten.
