A Walk in My Shoes Premier 🎬

Gloria Craig, LMM’s Community Engagement Coordinator, recently hosted a private premier screening for her first documentary, entitled A Walk in My Shoes.


While many believe homelessness is the result of personal choices for individuals who are addicts or who live on the street, this short film opens the door for a broader conversation. The film compels viewers to consider what it’s like to experience homelessness and what it means to have a “home."


This film shares stories of individuals who have or are experiencing homelessness and gives perspective to the chance realities of what can lead to this incident, and how it is different for everyone. 


A Walk In My Shoes production is sponsored by the We Raise Foundation, a funding partner of LMM since the launch of Chopping for Change.
