Movie #861 "Entre Nos"was an unbelievably honest portrayal of what it's like to be homeless. This is based on the writer/actress's mother and what she went through when she immigrated with her daughter and son from Columbia to live in Queens, NY. She comes to be with her husband, but he leaves them without money, and the rent due, so they have to go around collecting pop cans just to eat. This is a much grittier "Pursuit of Happyness" (Will Smith's film about being homeless) and make sure if you see this, that you get to the end to find out how these people are doing now. This is pretty hard to watch in places , and in fact, you are asked to watch how an abortion happens on the streets (using herbs? I had to google it, because I never heard of that). Like I said, pretty gritty, but short and full of intensity.
