homeless people are going to react when you tell them when is that you're actually doing something I think I'm crazy but I'm still scared to take the camera out and ask them questions I just think

heartbreaking just watching pigeons eatin bread and some Hazen who might what yeah human pigeons and everybody's eating there's always peace and quiet that's what these are for that's what you're doing aboard shuttle talk to yourself and speak to pigeons how about you feeling today it's hard to explain a feeling feels weird of you that's connected I don't even know how many do one of the fields F because I'm no communication with anybody's I don't know if it's the lack of sleep the lack of food or the fact I've not really spoke to anybody I'm not another teen it's like when you're homeless you're just loving day by day I don't have wheels feeling but a few very that's orientates they'll be back confused it's hard to explain sense you've been out on the streets what is the thing you've needed most to survive good because if you don't eat your day this is simple is that and it's sad because I don't know people are going hungry no it's shocking their food banks are law in New York you have over 1 million people using them though getting a feed the emergency supply and it's not just for most people it's people who actually have one or two jobs are just struggling EP bowls and they can't afford to buy food I've gotta take my hat off to France because they're well they first country to bring out a law we are supermarkets can no longer waste our floor we're food so now they're force supermarket's to give the food to charities and food banks well that feeds millions of people extra each year in France mo Lian's of people why is that not a warning you here so far how have you been coping before your family and your friends try to try to block it um what try to think about that as much because I think it where distract me but obviously I mustard on so much and when you're on the streets it's really lonely certainly on you feel this after love with the cares and I feel as if nobody's messing me that I don't know it sounds selfish but that's just to be out feeling out and came down hot tight Frank every bit as much because I know it's come like Christmas but I'm war my emotions and ever difference just all over the place you know it's I'm what faints that it starts our our wheels feel in but I'm just Horton they're messing me as much as I'm messing them have you felt scared or intimidated Sun should be no on the streets yeah of course and I thought why it sound too dramatic but some when you you're asleep you don't want you wake up the next year it's it's difficult year to get I keep thinking people are are standing over me every I've said it before but every noise I'm and wait you're not knows what I'm I admit it there so even though they'll yeah they're homeless people don't know answer you are scared that you're going to get attacked I'll you may get your things took off you and so it's it's terrifying good honest young try put on the brave faces off I'm naught but yeah I'm scared I'm scared that this scared that not basically see my family again and other white over dramatize it but that's the way I'm feeling I feel as if then you can you can get seriously hop doing us what's the plan for today yeah series I've we did to survive so safely day before Christmas the sizzurp as a discipline has been so smart [Music] the body lotion aboot try get the last dollar often to the night it looks like kids wanted to play to the step to come up those people so it's just the fact that how long you been on the streets I've been others teach to us but it's a swilley's know how you think that they are busy with their Truvada because you know you used to be based Buddhist monks then as we started to change how do you think I trust Miss Lavinia because education is great going on oh so that's your first customers we feed the cats in family do it boys wasn't you I won't get up in person haha and well so what's the plan set for next plans for you all these plans is to give us time to think don't play D Topsy stop this video we came to Thrones we taking element gathering volumes team especially do you think that is offered a lot of folks being homeless or definitely I mean how many things are there things in the other 33 things it is you want from us - Manoj about taking or another sorted [Music] [Music] so I've just left the set in motion that's places United over a hundred years help homeless people yes just had something to eat gosh miss Pleasant it's just people from all walks are they everyone with definite stories again speaking with people who have two jobs just can't afford to pay for food amazes me that mottled wait we we waste one font of food for human consumption one font but yet we have nearly 1 billion people starving that's crazy just to ask you how long you'd be homeless if you get family our friends hope these think being on the bonus 3sat Christmas yeah what one should see the wrinkles you would entertain people yes goodness you're there what's the next step for years mr. plans the next image a finger babe I'm x so the we have you been getting help some cry you know something there's no no uh-huh have you been the gear up yours that anything on the streets guys yeah uh-huh and in here and above who knows how this time last year to ionizer yeah nobody's in host Olivia interns of it haha yeah what happened to you and I got bald the bogus most about what but being both terms Antoine was so I've just left stewing cast about I was just speaking to there castevet intelligent mine mr. Lynch dude if I'm honest as they live with the fear he's just through but cash doesn't want to leave them because the turtle my best friends [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] when you see the conditions that actually for most people sleep in it makes you think because I ignore a lot of people who love to morning can clean about leaf but really as you leave that bad because if it's that [ __ ] bad then trust me can wonder streets for a couple of days and you're more hoteliers dfi just a McDonald's for heat lips have sex chatter to do [Music] [Applause] [Music] how are you feeling today sua tired hungry I'm not going to complain today I'm really starting to feel homeless the first thing I thought about when I woke up was where I'm going to make money and what Tina's soup kitchens all pin and I'm delish I feel homeless though you just said that you're starting to feel homeless does that mean that you're adapting to life on the street it's a wheeled experience it's coming from a roof over your head food in your belly clothes having money to having nothing it's an exchange that I hope no one has to experience it's it's tough but so for the people who are watching just know just just imagine if you had lost a loved one or you lose your job and you can't afford to pay their bows and you end up the street because the majority of homeless people have been exactly setting what you are and just bad circumstances have phoned them on the streets so the next time you walk past a homeless person just spell out for it that did be exactly what you are it's just an experience that it can happen to anyone so that's tough [Applause] I mean what most people have spoke to the majority of them when they first became homeless well and that heated drink hot dogs it's because the fact they got offered it so much they ended up all that back in Kings I see why but on drinking drugs because we're on the streets there's fuck-all over to do it's a lonely lonely place and when people don't see me Cara you don't feel part of their the population is a very isolated even though were under the one of the fuse it doesn't really feel if your honor if you know I mean so I can see why people can slap on a bar table is like drinking drugs to numb the pain and [Music] to hate for the factor the homeless and how about nothing maybe it's blessing maybe there's the time gotten tired tired of all the [ __ ] we've come we shall name Dean jealous and wish a dog's near me - how long you been homeless for seven oh you faint enough nice play the experienced any violence what kind of

bonding other why keep my doing because the why become a pain in the ass it's what I mean for cameras and love this the people need access see how much pain these people are learning by playing out for help so we need your [ __ ] help some we had on our I never slept one wink last thing after the hardest stories I was getting told people should not be getting treated like this and suicide so I'm gonna do everything in my power to help these people and it's okay to try and rehome these people but if I'm honest I wouldn't be able to keep up they need to again a rehabilitation and getting our drug program get them believe than themselves again but they need to want it change and when I speak to the people I be speaking to they do want to change the just knee they just don't know where they start and I'm glad I met Ricki and Julia last night because it just shows that people can change no matter how long you've been on drugs no matter what age are have you believe in yourself then you can change and know that rocky and Julie had helping people and helping people be at them leaves those people are amazing and it gives late and walked to other people who are struggling and don't think there's any way out that is before I was coming to do a nice documentary I was coming unplaned I doesn't really know what to expect I just thought it'd be a case of begging for money and then sleeping at night and hidden a couple of stories from people I doesn't realize the extent they actually go through and I I do it myself I walk someone I walked past so many homeless people I'll give money and I will the food and I've spent a lot about a team chat and but I walked past the hell of a lot is real when you forget that they are human beings they have get feelings and emotions and they go through so much hot and pain I came to forget that so just ask you how long you've been on the streets 23 years roughly and in Glasgow 25 you know what's the plans for Christmas don't tell me a messenger and Allah we never intend to be any violence or abuse you know an excuse I see everything I see everything the other night wake up when a dummy soldier [Music] - please time stands still as you walk closer to me oh it's funny cuz I please show up again - security guards are always falling me I vote if I get that I've been that job you bet suspicious than if you look rough and then they will follow you and on some days if you're begging for money I'd imagine that not being Christmas January the quiet time of the month the homeless people work would make money so if I wasn't making money and I was hungry I would began stealing food the survival water I've been always be the seventh reverse charity the room was torture computation because you how do you feel been homeless for
