It Was A Wonderful Life - 1992 - 6/10

Documentary profiling six women in Los Angeles, homeless.
How they are living / surviving. Where to find food, showers.
Sleeping at night, most in their cars. Hassles with “the system” that would rather move them along.
Who had they been before, and how did they fall? How did they lose everything?
Doc goes into that, too. The women are painfully honest, a few try to stay optimistic.
After all, this is America. Sunny California, no less.
As someone who lived out of his car for a month, however, I know firsthand how quickly your life can unravel.
Film leaves a sour taste. Not toward the participants, but producers. Those who profited, but did not assist.
