The Soloist arrives in theaters nationwide starting today, and the film has already generated a great buzz in the blogosphere. Hopefully the film will motivate people to learn more about homelessness and mental illness, and take action in their community. Mark Horvath from Invisible People is helping to further that national discussion by traveling to Sacramento’s tent city interviewing homeless individuals about their experiences. One particularly heartbreaking story is that of Cecilia and her daughter Juliana, whom Mark spoke with when he visited the Prado Day Center in San Luis Obispo:
