[2020 Homelessness Documentary] The Wall: Raw Stories from the 2018 Minneapolis Homeless Camp

Now an Official Selection to the 2020 Twin Cities Film Fest - Told through the residents who lived it, "The Wall" looks back at the saga of the 2018 Native American tent community in Minneapolis. Throughout the film, residents share openly and honestly about their journeys to the camp, their lives there, and their hopes for a better future. “The Wall” offers these stories within the backdrop of the overall story of the camp: its growth, the Twin Cities community response, and the eventual transfer of residents to shelter.

"The Wall" provides a unique and raw look into the struggles of American poverty, addiction, and homelessness. As a result, viewers walk away with a better understanding of what might be done to address these issues.

(See film credits below.)

"The Wall" premiered in May 2019.
Fox 9 News, Minneapolis reported: “The audience quickly becomes captivated by the dark realities of addiction and despair.”
And WorldJournal.com wrote:
"…the film reveals the inner feelings and predicaments of the homeless, and causes the audience to pay attention to this group living in the shadows.”
