This is the trailer for the compelling documentary film, SKID ROW. Although Los Angeles has the largest homeless population, it is a mirror of the homeless crisis existing in most of our urban areas. Pras Michael of the Fugees, now an activist for the homeless, lived on the streets of Skid Row for nine days to help make this film. Indie Rights has created an Activist Edition DVD that contains all the resources necessary to Raise Awarness and Inspire Action. Individuals and orgnizations are invited to host screenings of the film or partner with us to do something about this crisis.
