More than 500,000 people experience homelessness every night in America, with over 7,700 people in San Francisco alone. Lead Me Home presents this epidemic of homelessness in America with a show-don't-tell approach, featuring candid testimonials from those who rest their heads in shelters, tent cities, and anywhere a night's sleep can be found. This short film is intentionally a study of contrasts - showing clips of housed individuals against those on the streets - whose basic needs and lives are not so different yet drastically so. An emotional and honest conversation with unhoused residents from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle, presenting a dignified portrait of our culture's fraying edges and the people who inhabit them.
