The new documentary, which will be screened nationwide on May 9, follows a running group for homeless people in the notorious area of downtown Los Angeles, and The Big Issue is delighted to be on board as one of the film’s media partners.
Judge Mitchell founded the group in 2011 after visiting the Midnight Mission in Los Angeles, which provides more than one million meals a year – alongside advice, shelter and help with issues around addiction – for some of the estimated 4,500 homeless people in Skid Row (an area of less than five square miles).
We’re incredibly proud of our work here at The Big Issue and are excited to have the opportunity to work with other organisations also engaged in improving the lives of homeless people and those in vulnerable circumstances around the world.
