Director: Lisa DiFranza
SHELTER/CHICAGO looks beneath headlines about homelessness by entering the worlds of the men, women and children living on Chicago streets. It invites audiences to question the role of the media, and the roles we play, as citizens.
SHELTER/CHICAGO is based on “Living Newspapers” of the 1930s, multi-media productions that dared to challenge audiences to grapple with issues of the day.
