Many thanks to Robert Craig Films for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
Did you know there are 1.2 million adults and 1.5 million children experiencing homelessness nationwide? Between 2022 and 2023, street-level homelessness increased 12% nationwide, if this rate continues, street-level homelessness will double in 5-6 years. Nearly 1 in 3 foster youth in California face homelessness after leaving the child welfare system.
The numbers are overwhelming, but today I'm sharing a new movie that highlights the human side of homelessness and vividly portrays that “homelessness could happen to anyone.” Take a look:
Synopsis: Homeless at 17, Lauren lost everything—except the will to survive. On the streets, she finds new meaning in a family of outcasts and discovers that home is where the hope is. No Address is a gripping journey of living without walls and rising above them. Starring Lucas Jade Zumann, Beverly D’Angelo, Isabella Ferreira, William Baldwin, Xander Berkeley, Ty Pennington, Kristanna Loken, Patricia Velasquez, and Ashanti, this powerful film dares you to believe in second chances.

This was a beautiful and powerful movie--- but most certainly not an easy one to watch. It most certainly does not sugarcoat the harsh realities of homelessness. But if the goal was to highlight the human side, it most certainly does that. There are a lot of ideas that people have about the homeless... but the reality is so many people are just a few paychecks away from losing everything and this is again something that I think the film depicts well. While this is not a movie that I would say is entertaining to watch, I think it is one that is very important to be seen and one that, in the end, has a beautiful message of faith.
Robert Craig Films is deeply committed to addressing the urgent issue of homelessness and has pledged that 50% of the net profits from our five No Address productions will be donated to a diverse range of organizations and churches nationwide that are tirelessly working to combat the homelessness crisis within their communities.
