Filmed entirely in California.
The story : Homelessness is a very big issue in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles , California.
Many of the homeless are stricken with mental illness , which they cannot always afford help with.
The mayor of the city has seemed to allow the chief of police , who is from New York , to clean up the Skid Row area as he sees fit.
This means brutalize the homeless and use force against the unarmed and the helpless.
Their only crime being , living on the street.
But the police have arrested and fined many for things like jaywalking , littering and sleeping on the sidewalk.
The community wants all this to end and rallies every year in hopes that the city will turn its tactics around.
The homeless just want chances and homes for themselves.
Help from the police when needed and a safer community for everyone in it.
