on the edge
Seven women courageously step out of America's shadow of sote-red.sm.jpghame, homelessness, lugging family troubles and deep-seated anxiety as they grapple to avoid returning to their nomadic existence. Their brutal honesty reveals not only the turmoil and tragedies that led to their homelessness but also their vulnerability of returning to a life of invisible struggle to survive.  Their stories give new meaning to life “on the edge.”

This documentary film, in process for 5 years, nears completion as of 7/10.
