This documentary is educational and heartbreaking at the same time as uplifting! Gives hope and instills much needed empathy for all.

It brings homelessness very close to home but also provides the tools to be an ambassador for the displaced.

Do yourself a favor and watch this..homelessness can happen to anyone! If it does you want these resources, outreach programs and to know your rights on your side!

The production team and cast are speaking from heart, genuinely advocating a need vital now.

To travel the country and provide the insight and hear from the voices themselves makes you want to be a part of this team badly and Immediately.

Love wins and empathy is power.

Thank you Robert Craig films for your time, care and courage to bring this to much needed conversations.

I watched this documentary with a rudimentary knowledge of the problems that cause homelessness. I walked away from it, realizing that the causes are much bigger and more complex than I would have thought and I walked away hopeful that there are people and organizations doing things that work. The doc was thoughtful and presented many different organizations working on this problem along with highlighting personal stories of those going through it.

I would recommend this doc to anyone that wants to engage in this space and with this topic. It will leave you wanting to learn more and increase dialogue around this topic. As any good doc should!

This project is not just about showcasing the heartbreaking realities-it's about sparking conversations and challenging the status quo.

Through interviews with nonprofit leaders, individuals experiencing homelessness, and policy experts, the film captures the systemic challenges that lead to homelessness, including trauma, mental health struggles, and economic disparities.

This film left me reflecting on the power of connection and the importance of being part of the solution. If you're ready to see a side of America too often overlooked-and to walk away inspired by what we can achieve together-this documentary is a must-watch.

Very moving documentary, featuring real people on the street first and foremost and serious discussions of public policy that go beyond slogans and simple answers. What's encouraging is they show there's more common ground than may be believed, if we can only avoid utopian schemes or make the perfect the enemy of the good. William Baldwin is a committed liberal and he works with conservatives to learn from people experiencing homeless directly, understanding that shoveling money at a problem may actually perpetuate it and honoring the dignity of homeless people rather than undermining it by treating them as helpless.

It was very authentic to see the actors on a road trip, on the bus, going from place to place to seeing and meeting the homeless and experiencing their situations. I believe the road trip was in preparation for their upcoming movie. And then to have a documentary that was this good come out of that, was amazing. There was a real personal touch in this documentary. It was eye opening to see that just throwing money at the situation isn't going to solve it. And, just enabling the drug problem isn't helpful. Some of these organizations are doing it right, giving a hand up to one person at a time.

This is hands down the most comprehensive documentary that has been made about the bleak realities of those Americans who are experiencing homelessness. It was such an eye-opener to see what causes people to become unhoused and literally have "no address." The documentary delves deep into the complex factors-such as mental illness, addiction, lack of affordable housing, and systemic failures-that contribute to homelessness, giving viewers a more nuanced understanding of the issue. It also showcases a number of non-profits and mission groups around the US who are making major headway in helping those experiencing homelessness, which was both inspiring and heartwarming to see. The incredible work being done by these organizations provides hope and a sense of humanity in the face of such a devastating crisis. The documentary's raw, unflinching portrayal of homelessness is balanced by the uplifting stories of resilience and compassion, leaving a powerful message of hope. It's an eye-opening, thought-provoking, and deeply moving film-a must-watch for anyone wanting to better understand this critical issue.

As a co-producer, I'm incredibly proud to reflect on how Americans with No Address came to life. What began as a journey to refine our script for No Address and understand what was and wasn't working in communities across the country grew into something much larger-a platform to share powerful stories and insights about homelessness with a wider audience. Alongside the documentary, we created an interactive study guide, allowing viewers to engage more deeply with these stories and insights.

This film features a diverse range of voices-from the Mayor of Sacramento, who discusses the policy struggles and community-level challenges, to dedicated organizations like the Salvation Army, Citygate, and the Nashville Rescue Mission, who are on the front lines addressing the immediate needs of those without homes. Through these perspectives, the documentary provides a compassionate, multi-faceted view of homelessness, highlighting both the personal resilience of individuals experiencing it and the complex web of systemic issues that perpetuate it.

We wanted this documentary to do more than just showcase the issue; our goal was to humanize it, to reveal the dignity, humor, and hopes of each person, presenting them as people with dreams and strengths, just like anyone else. These stories remind viewers that homelessness is not a monolithic experience but a deeply personal journey for each person affected.

In addition to these personal narratives, Americans with No Address examines critical systemic factors-like housing shortages, mental health gaps, and resource limitations-that shape the everyday realities of homelessness. While the film doesn't claim to have all the answers, it's designed to spark conversation and inspire viewers to think about how we might collectively work toward change.

My hope is that Americans with No Address encourages viewers to look beyond labels and statistics, to engage with empathy, and to recognize the people behind the issue. To everyone who shared their experiences with us and to all who watch with open hearts-this film is for you.

The homeless problem keeps growing and it needs to be stemmed. What can be done about it? This documentary shows how it is being addressed by many nonprofit organizations. We need to raise public awareness. . This documentary helps do just that. I am amazed that many local organizations are creatively coming up with solutions. As a volunteer who is active in serving homeless men, women and children through The Gathering Inn and my church, I've heard many life stories that parallel the stories in this powerful documentary.

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie when it is released.

Carolyn Wadman, concerned citizen.

This documentary open my eyes to the extent of how bad the homeless gracious is in our country and I'm sure other ones too. Let's all help these people get back on their feet. I highly recommend that you watch this BBB as it will open your eyes to the turmoil that homeless people suffer from and yet it will open your eyes to all the goodness that's being poured out on the homeless population in our country. It is very well made, and it kept my attention. I didn't even get up to go to the bathroom. I didn't want to miss anything. What really think to me was how badly the drug abuse is especially fentanyl.

"Americans with No Address" is a powerful documentary that offers a close look at the lives of homeless Americans. It challenges stereotypes and highlights the strength and resilience of its subjects by sharing their personal stories. The film also delves into the root causes of homelessness, encouraging viewers to view the issue with empathy and recognize it as a multilayered social problem. It is a thought-provoking and inspiring watch that prompts reflection on the importance of having a place to call home.

I left with a strong desire to provide assistance in any way possible, as it can happen to anyone of us.

Review of "Americans with No Address"

"Americans with No Address" is a poignant and powerful documentary that delves into the pervasive crisis of homelessness across the United States. The film embarks on a journey through multiple states, capturing the raw, unfiltered realities of life on the streets and revealing the factors that contribute to homelessness. From economic downturns to personal tragedies, systemic issues, and the lack of adequate social support, Americans with No Address explores the vast complexities surrounding this humanitarian crisis and sheds light on the faces and stories of those often overlooked and marginalized in society.

The documentary's strength lies in its ability to humanize the people behind the statistics. Instead of just focusing on numbers or generic data, it brings viewers face-to-face with real individuals who share their struggles, hopes, and resilience. Through heartfelt interviews, we meet a diverse range of people-families with young children, veterans who once served their country, individuals grappling with mental illness, and those who have faced unforeseen financial setbacks. Each person's story illustrates how homelessness is not a monolithic experience, but rather a multifaceted issue with unique challenges for each individual affected.

One of the most striking aspects of the film is its emphasis on how homelessness can impact anyone, regardless of background, age, or socioeconomic status. By featuring people from all walks of life, the documentary highlights how homelessness does not discriminate. For many, the journey from stability to homelessness can be swift and unexpected, often resulting from a single unfortunate event-such as a medical emergency, job loss, or divorce-that sets off a domino effect of hardship. In this sense, Americans with No Address serves as a stark reminder that the line between "us" and "them" is far thinner than many might think.

The cinematography in Americans with No Address is notable for its intimacy and honesty. The camera work invites viewers into the hidden corners of cities and rural areas alike, capturing the makeshift camps, tent cities, and the improvised shelters where many homeless individuals seek refuge. These visuals are both haunting and beautiful in their starkness, forcing viewers to confront the reality of homelessness head-on. The film avoids sensationalism, instead opting for a respectful, almost meditative approach that allows the audience to absorb the weight of each individual's experience.

The film also explores the systemic failures that contribute to the cycle of homelessness in the United States. Through interviews with experts, advocates, and policymakers, Americans with No Address examines how inadequate mental health care, the lack of affordable housing, and an often ineffective social safety net have exacerbated the crisis. These discussions offer valuable insights into the root causes of homelessness, highlighting the ways in which societal structures have failed some of the most vulnerable members of the population. At the same time, the film raises thought-provoking questions about personal and societal responsibility, challenging viewers to consider what role they might play in alleviating the suffering of those who are homeless.

Despite the heavy subject matter, Americans with No Address is not without hope. The film showcases organizations, volunteers, and advocates who are working tirelessly to support homeless individuals and to implement solutions, however small. From outreach programs providing food and shelter to advocacy groups lobbying for policy changes, the documentary demonstrates that there are people committed to making a difference. These moments of hope serve as a reminder that positive change is possible, even in the face of a crisis as daunting as homelessness.

In the end, Americans with No Address is a must-watch for anyone seeking to better understand the homelessness crisis in America. It challenges stereotypes, dispels myths, and compels viewers to think deeply about the moral implications of a society where homelessness is so widespread. It is both a call to action and an invitation to empathize with those who have lost the stability of a permanent home. By giving a voice to the voiceless, Americans with No Address succeeds in making the invisible visible, and its impact lingers long after the credits roll.

This documentary is essential viewing for anyone invested in social justice, public policy, or simply the well-being of fellow human beings. It is a powerful reminder of the shared humanity that connects us all, regardless of our circumstances.

I was so moved by this moving documentary, They interviewed real people on the street "with no address" and the we witnessed up close the hardships they experienced. William Baldwin has taken a personal interest in helping these homeless souls. The documentary visited several cities where "hope villages" have been developed with affordable housing which also includes medical assistance, social workers who help. These village are able to give these people an address so they could apply for assistance. I pray that more people can view this documentary to learn and become aware of the homeless situation.

From what we show in this documentary, that I am so humbled to be a producer of, because this is what I experienced firsthand across the country, the way to solve homelessness is to have housing with wrap around services. There are so many nonprofit organizations in the country that are doing just this, like The Salvation Army, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Family Promise, The Gathering Inn, Citygate Network of rescue missions and many others across the country.

This documentary is a MUST WATCH because it shows the solution of what is needed to get people experiencing homelessness off the streets.

Robert Craig, p.g.a.

Through my non-profit I work very close in the homeless space and I have found this documentary to be very relevant to what is happening in America right now.

This documentary will move you in a transformative way to want to help in whatever capacity you can to create sustainable ways to try and curve the homeless situation we have in America.

The creators did a fantastic job doing their research on this topic by doing interviews with many stakeholders in this space across America along with those challenged with currently living on the street as well.

This is a must see for anyone who wants to better understand this issue and I am confident will create more compassion for the plight of homelessness.

You may think you have a deep and profound understanding of the system and why people are experiencing homelessness until you watch this film. It lays out what lead to the homeless crisis we are experiencing today and what future steps are needed to stop it. Everyone deserves to be treated as humans and this film has a way of reminding you of your humanity and why we all need to participate and be actively engaged in advocating for those who don't have access to basic rights such as housing. This film is incredibly enlightening and moving. It is a much watch for everyone because homelessness can happen to anyone.

I appreciated the approach of this documentary. They shared stories of different organizations around the US and what they have found to be effective in addressing the homelessness crisis in our country. Hearing stories of those experiencing homelessness causes you to see the human side of the story and reminds us that everyone needs support and wrap around care in their lives to grow and thrive.

I also appreciated that they shared some of our nations history when it comes to how we have addressed this issue and what we're currently doing. If you are interested in learning more about this issue, I would highly recommend this documentary!

I've watched my fair share of homeless documentaries, and online videos...this is BY FAR the best I've ever seen!

I like how they didn't include just one city, but several across the country, and also interviewing individuals from all walks of life, people who work for various service organizations and also individuals who have been homeless themselves.

I would HIGHLY recommend not just watching it once, but watching it at LEAST twice, because there's so much powerful information, it's a lot to take in, so by watching it twice, you may learn something that you could have missed the first time!
