Wood Street follows a year in the life of Oakland’s largest unhoused encampment as its residents face an imminent eviction that threatens to dismantle their community. As notices appear and police move in, residents organize — building barricades, filing lawsuits, and protesting at City Hall to fight for their right to stay. Told through immersive verité, the film places viewers inside the encampment, capturing the urgency, resilience, and emotional toll of collective resistance. At its center are John and LaMonté, whose bond is tested as pressure mounts — LaMonté’s mental health deteriorates while John struggles to remain sober. When the eviction comes, the community is physically erased, but its spirit endures.
