How much do you care?

This video piece follows the expectations, hopes and later disenchantment of three former homeless people in New York regarding the presidential elections of November 2nd that brought the second term in the White House of George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States.

This documentary tries to raise awareness about political issues and bring back to the system people that may be considered as outcasts.

I started working on this video docummentary as coursework for an Experimental Ethnographic Video Documentary class I was taking at ITP with the video artist Tirtza Even, and it ended up being a very enriching experience. I am still working on it.

Many thanks to Tirtza and many special thanks to Gerry, Eugene, Joanne, and Jean.
