Taylor’s Campaign documentary is an inspiring film that tells the story of a candidate running for city council and striving to help a local community address the issues of homelessness affecting the city of Santa Monica, Ca.  Taylor is a great example of a social advocate who understands the hardships of homeless people experience while trying to survive and maintain stability in a city where no rights are honored to those that lack social services and employment.  After watching this film it has inspired me to see life differently in different perspectives and value what I have.  Taylor took us to an adventure to open up our hearts and minds of people living on the streets, and see the reality of the disadvantages homeless people face daily.

One of the moments which struck me deeply was when one of the ladies from the homeless community was crying in desperation after being kicked out their space saying, “where are we gonna go, we don’t have nowhere to go..”.  These people have made their space a sustaining habitat, where they have adjusted to the streets, and work to maintain their habits and surviving possessions.  However, public policies reinforce by the city council discourages homelessness, therefore it continues to be controversial issue that has people like Taylor fighting for social changes in the communities. In my opinion, instead of encouraging policies to deter homelessness, the cities need to address the causes of homelessness and provide necessary resources for the people in need.
