There are over 180 cities in America that have criminalized the homeless population. The NO ADDRESS Documentary focuses on homelessness in Columbia, South Carolina. It depicts the criminalization of homelessness and how communities across the country can implement proven practical solutions to address this epidemic.

For this special documentary, the Sunrise is giving all proceeds to Family Promise of Moore County, a local non-profit organization. For over 20 years, Family Promise has provided safe shelter, meals, and supportive services to homeless families and helped them regain permanent, affordable, and sustainable housing.

FRANCESCO
1h 56min | Documentary
FRANCESCO takes an unsparing look at the most pressing issues of the 21st Century; economic stratification, race and gender inequality, the climate crisis, xenophobia and others; while shining a light on the challenges and consequences that have led us to this moment in time. Pope Francis demonstrates a tremendous amount of humility, wisdom and generosity towards all, and whose ideals can help us build a bridge to a better future to thrive as a global community.
FRANCESCO is not a biographical film about Pope Francis in the traditional sense. Rather, the documentary provides a glimpse into his work addressing so many issues of today; climate change, immigration, peace and religious tolerance, the LGBTQ+ community, gender and identity justice, health, and economic equality. As a result, we are given an example of leadership that provides hope and inspiration during one of the most unprecedented moments in our lives.

IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
