DALLAS INVISIBLE
THE FILM
A look into the web of homeless people in Dallas who live their lives in a society that treats them as if they are invisible.
There but for the grace of God is a quote that came to mind
while making the short film, Dallas Invisible. So many Americans are a paycheck away from the financial devastation that could lead to home insecurity. Homelessness is a pandemic in America from its heartland to its major cities. Dallas Invisible shines a light on this issue while introducing us to people who are often faceless and nameless and have spiraled into homelessness due to systematic poverty, drug use and mental illness.
