"As I figure it, this film is a"Rated R for Reality." We have created a hard hitting truthful unflinching documentary that shows how some of us really live. We hope it will start a dialog for change in our world."
-Stephen Powell, Editor: The Forgotten City

Frank6.16.2006 -In our film we met Frank, a homeless man in Buffalo. Frank was staying a a local shelter with his son and was seeing work as a licensed contractor. Despite his difficult position, Frank had hope. To me, Frank was inspiring. As we worked on this film and faced technical challenges, I kept repeating Franks words to myself as we worked, "I have hope". As the 11th our approached and the pressure mounted on us to get this one in the can I repeated to myself, "I have hope".
Today, we received word that a prominent local businessman has offered Frank a job at his construction company!!!
Frank now has a home and a chance at a job! That is so great!!
