Beyond the Bridge: A Solution to Homelessness

ABOUT THE FILM

The team at A Bigger Vision Films noticed that most documentaries on homelessness offer few solutions, so they set out to create BEYOND THE BRIDGE, an ambitious documentary film about solutions to homelessness. The film crew drove over 40,000 miles to visit 12 cities and dozens of service providers, those with lived experience and policy makers to answer this question: How can this country solve homelessness in a comprehensive way?

The answer: Working with deep coordination — a single homelessness response systems plan based on the principles of Housing First with community buy-in from law enforcement, judicial systems, business communities, service providers, volunteers, and leadership from the mayor and county executive, all working from the same page.

ABOUT THE EVENT

A Bigger Vision Films is very excited for you to join for a screening of Beyond the Bridge: A Solution to Homelessness, taking place on Tuesday, November 19th at The DuBois Center at UNC Charlotte Center City. This event is presented with the support of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Continuum of Care (CoC), UNC Charlotte Urban Institute and Charlotte Center City Partners.

Following this special preview impact screening, local experts and advocates will join us for a panel conversation and audience Q&A.

Our goal is for this film to be a part of a community-wide conversation about homelessness. Who do you know that needs to know more about this issue? Who else needs to get involved in this dialogue? We encourage you to invite others to this free screening, panel, and Q&A, so that we can all be a part of answering the question: How can we end homelessness in Charlotte-Mecklenburg?
