American golem

The global financial crisis is widely discussed in the cold office towers of corporate America, but its most hurtful impact is on the residential buildings that have been hit by a wave of foreclosures. Over 500 thousands Californians have lost their houses. In San Francisco alone more than 15,000 people are homeless and there’s been a 60% increase of the requests for shelter, now counting at 12,000 per year. This documentary tells the daily struggles of some exemplary individuals who have lost everything, yet manage to survive.
