GREAT SPEECHES FOR A DYING WORLD by Linas Phillips, music by Lori Golston and Tara Jane ONeil

"Finding that homeless people seem to be invisible to the rest of society, director Linas Phillips (WALKING TO WERNER) set out to familiarize himself with 12 people who were living on the streets of Seattle. As he developed friendships and discovered each person's particular struggles, he asked the subjects to read a famous speech from history that they felt related to their lives. Symmetrical human empathy and hope emerge alongside the constant low points of extreme poverty in one of the more intimate encounters with homelessness documented on film."
