Audience Member Poignant film on the Los Angeles homeless crisis and the stories of the homeless and their advocates. It helps cultivate understanding and compassion. I highly recommend this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary is extremely moving and extremely important. It's a one-stop-shop for gaining vital information about what is going on in LA's homeless crisis and for connecting and empathising with the subjects of homelessness and those who fight for their lives. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member he picked three advocates who really go beyond with such profound compassion and kindness - reminding us we are all people i felt an uplifting sense of hope while watching this solidarity thanks for your advocacy and kindness Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a must see for anyone concerned about the homeless epidemic spreading throughout the United States. The ignorance is bliss, look the other way attitude of the majority of our society offers no solutions and Rémi Kessler's film The Advocates depicts the tireless selfless activism for the homeless of a few Los Angelenos. Namely Mel Tillekeratne (Founder of Monday Night Mission), Claudia Perez (Founder of L.A. on Cloud9) and Rudy Salinas (Case Manager for Housing Works). Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Best Documentary film in Los Angeles. It captures the hard and incredible work of compassionate people doing whatever it takes to help people experiencing homelessness. The Advocates is one of a kind film. A must watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't wait to see this! This is such an important topic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
