Like another user, I had to create an accoun just to write a review and vent . It took me a while to identify the emotion I felt watching this but it was anger. It upsets me the actor is trying to make us believe he is the same as those who are truly homeless.
Here are the obvious differences:
I could go on and on. The drug use was gratuitous-he had to learn how to use a crack Pipe and how to shoot up. He wasn't even close to being addicted.
It turned those who are homeless around him the supporting cast of eccentric characters and himself the star where it was the other way around.
It's a shame that he put his dignity, compassion and health aside to sensationalize A very important problem-how do we care for those who are vulnerable and provide a very basic need: a safe place to call home.
Here are the obvious differences:
- he's had a lifetime of good dental care.
- he likely was supported by one or both parents and definitely by his brother (who held the camera).
- he never walked the streets alone to be victim and aaa always in the company of his brother.
- he always knew he would be done in 31 days. Having this to look forward to changes everything. He had hope always and knew the conditions were temporary.
