No Address movie

 



Puts a face on homelessness. People become homeless for all kinds of reasons, many through no fault of their own. This shines some light on it, humanizes it, to bring awareness of the problem and hopefully raise some money and/or help to combat it. A hard problem to face, that can become all too real, all too easily for anyone. It makes you realize what you have and how blessed you are to be provided for and taken care of, safe, with enough to eat.

 Buy tickets today to see No Address in theaters starting February 28! 

• This feature film highlights the human side of homelessness and vividly portrays that “homelessness could happen to anyone.” 
• No Address is an exploration of hope, humanity, and resilience as characters navigate challenges with no physical address.

Homelessness Statistics**

- There are 1.2 million adults and 1.5 million children experiencing homelessness nationwide.
- Between 2022 and 2023, street-level homelessness increased 12% nationwide, if this rate continues, street-level homelessness will double in 5-6 years.
- Nearly 1 in 3 foster youth in California face homelessness after leaving the child welfare system.
- Before 2014, the number of unsheltered individuals dropped by 31.4% between 2007 and 2014, thanks to intensive wraparound services and participation requirements in most homelessness assistance programs. This progress was reversed when the federal government cut funding for supportive services and removed participation requirements.

Watch Americans With No Address today - Now Streaming on Prime Video!

Synopsis: Americans With No Address is a documentary that investigates the homeless crisis in America and captures the untold stories of those experiencing homelessness while at the same time trying to find answers to the problem.

Our hope is that Americans With No Address will challenge preconceptions about homelessness, prompt viewers to confront their biases, and inspire broader conversations about policy reform, community engagement, and empathy toward those experiencing homelessness.

The Americans With No Address team is on a mission to raise awareness and offer solutions to homelessness in America. Through a comprehensive five-production approach, including the documentary "Americans With No Address" and the feature film "No Address," which will be coming to theaters nationwide on February 28th, we aim to break the cycle of homelessness. These two films are part of a broader effort to build empathy and compassion for those experiencing homelessness. In addition to these powerful films, we have the novelization of the award-winning screenplay, a soundtrack, and an interactive study guide that guides people who want to be part of the solution in their own community.  

• The Documentary came about first to ensure the accuracy of the “No Address” feature film; our production team toured the country for several weeks, visiting and filming interviews in 20 major cities across 18 states facing various rates of homelessness and interviewed over 175 people. Those interviews inspired the documentary "Americans With No Address," which captures the essence of what is causing the homeless crisis and portrays what solutions have been implemented and proven to show positive changes. 

• In the making of this documentary, the team witnessed firsthand the unbreakable spirit that thrives in the face of adversity. It deepened our understanding of homelessness and its complexities. 

• If one story could change your perspective, would you listen? 

• What can people do to help with this crisis?

 First, watching the documentary provides solution-based suggestions, and we highly suggest everyone visit www.AmericansWithNoAddress.com.  

• Second, as you will see in the documentary, we visited hundreds of nonprofits and organizations on the frontlines, providing resources and services to those experiencing homelessness with proven successful outcomes. We suggest you connect with one of these organizations in your community to share your time as a volunteer or make a financial donation.

5,000 Blankets

 


You don't want to miss this heartwarming story coming to theaters December 12 and 13. Get your tickets today!

Wow what an impactful movie. The acting and production are flawless - it feels like you are watching the people that this real story is based on. The father (Bobby) in a well-off family is strongly physically and mentally affected in such a way that he runs off and enters the world of the homeless in the Texas area. After losing everything, the mother (Cindi) and son (Phillip) move in with her mother and start over. In their ongoing process of looking for Bobby, she discovers that the homeless people in the area need blankets. Even though it's Texas, it still gets cold in December. It's Phillip's wish that they reach out to their community to get blankets for what they figure are 5,000 homeless people in their area. It's an interesting process, and a story well worth watching. Very well done. Touching. Inspiring. Good story. Real. A story that needed to be told, brought to light.

Veiled in Smoke by Jocelyn Green

 




Christian Historical set before, during and after the great Chicago fire. Interesting story with great depth, murder and mystery, faith, family and friends. Meg and Sylvie are sisters, running a bookstore in their home, that was originally established by their parents. Their father had been a prisoner of war in the Civil war and was struggling to cope with his life back home. The night of the Chicago fire changed all their lives, setting a new reality in motion.  As the story unfolds, they all start rebuilding their lives. Sometimes it's better to have everything torn down and start over, clearing some of the obstacles in front of us. But no one said it would be easy. It's interesting that more lives were lost in rebuilding the city than in the fire. Love for one another and faith in God are the strength and foundation to build on.

I received this book free from the publisher and NetGalley book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Shadow Among Sheaves by Naomi Stephens

"Most days she found her own past too painful in its vastness."

England 1861. Intricate tale of a young Indian woman who married a British soldier, heir to a fortune. Similar to the biblical Ruth, when he and his father both died, she left India to follow her mother-in-law back to England. Neither realizing just how tough it would be. Severely rejected because of her race and nationality, both women were rejected and shunned by everyone and forced to live in a way neither had experienced before.

Lord Barric grudgingly felt compelled to help these women,  relatives by marriage. At first, he just allowed Rena to glean from his field. The story is excruciatingly painful to read at times, vividly brought to life by this talented author. Unfairness of discrimination, both of race and because they were women in the society of this day and age. And the customs of both countries. Through Rena, the beauty of the Indian people is unfolded. Although in India, the people didn't respect widows at that time; treated them harshly. In many parts of India, widows were beaten and shunned, cursed and spat upon, their clothes stripped away and ornaments ripped from their piercings so even their skin and flesh were broken. In the Indian state of Punjab, the term for widow was synonymous with the word for prostitute. But love has no racial boundaries.

“We are so much more than our reputation,” she finally managed to reply, her face warming. “Stories cheat; truth is found only in friendship.”

I was blessed to meet and work with people from India for a while, even more blessed to call these beautiful people friends. A time and friendship that I will always treasure. I didn't learn nearly enough about them and the land that they came from. The beauty and dignity of the main character in this story made me think of them.
