Just home from watching this amazing film at The Classic in Elsternwick.
I'm a woman in her late sixties, and I will hop into my lovely comfortable bed tonight (with my adorable toy poodle) and my heart will be filled with gratitude.
A marriage break-up, loss of a job, domestic violence, estrangement from family, a major health crisis, sexual abuse - any of these things could have happened to me (some have), and I could find myself in the position of being homeless. But I've been privileged, and this has not happened - YET!
Australia is not a third-world country and there is no need for anyone to sleep rough. I don't know what the answer is, but this film, in its raw beauty, shows us the 'face' of homelessness, and gives us hope for the future.
Thank you Catherine Hill for your tenacity and selflessness in bringing this film to us. Your film needs to be seen by politicians and big business.
