Yowei will collaborate with a small group of men working to overcome homelessness to create a half-hour audio documentary following a day in the life of a homeless person in Philadelphia. After a series of production workshops at the Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, participants will gather sound, conduct interviews, and produce a documentary that explores the root causes, mainstream perceptions, and consequences of homelessness - as well as possible solutions. The documentary will premiere at a listening party followed by a panel discussion.
