A note from Cassandra Clegg, executive producer of this mini-documentary and a senior journalism student at Roosevelt:

     “For the past three years, I’ve passed the homeless on the streets of Chicago as part of my daily routine. I’ve often wondered about what life was like for those nameless individuals before their days of living on the street. Especially in the winter,
I wondered how they manage to survive the cold. Where do they go at night? Do they have a family? What are their hopes? Their desires?
      This mini-documentary provides some answers and offers a glimpse into the lives of four homeless men. By design, there is no outside narrative voice. This is a story that needs to be told, but through the voices of the homeless themselves and scenes of a Chicago winter.
      Ben Scott joined my vision and together we ventured into the Loop to talk with the homeless on the street. For journalistic integrity we did not give anything to the people who agreed to be filmed. This is their story.
