This is the official movie trailer for the upcoming film Bums: The Story America's Invisible Class featuring Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn. Children with no parents. Combat war veterans still suffering from the effects of war. Elderly people who have lost insurance or have medical bills that are too high. Families who live out of a van. Woman fleeing from abusive relationships. These are just some of the stories that make up the homeless population in America. Yet when we think of homelessness we only see one face. And while these most visible of homelessness deserve our help and attention as well, they are only a fraction of the overall homeless population. Bums tells the story of the entire homeless population, which is something that has never been done before in film. We answer several questions. Where did homelessness come from? Why do we spend billions a year, but seem to have very little progress? Whats being done that actually works? Is there a way to solve this problem? Bums will forever change your perception of what has often been dubbed Americas invisible class.
