We screened SKID ROW in Denver and then The Creative Coalition honored Pras for his work on the film. They also honored several civil rights icons and I’m going to post videos of their incredible speaches on my profile. So many filmmakers turned out to help make a difference. I think that our next president must address the problems we have at home like lack of affordable houseing, lack of adequate healthcare, lack of adequate care for our veterans and lack of a living wage. All these issues have caused a major jump in homelessness and it’s time to take action.
