https://www.tugg.com/events/shelter-hplgJoin us for a this limited theatrical engagement of SHELTER, the new documentary film from The Renaud Brothers (Last Chance High) and Executive Producer Michael K. Williams (The Wire). A panel discussion with Covenant House youth and staff will follow the screening.
From the team behind the Peabody Award winning Last Chance High, comes SHELTER: a feature length documentary following a year in the life of homeless youth in New Orleans. At Covenant House, located on the outskirts of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana, the doors never close, and there is always room for one more. On any given day, a constant stream of young people carrying everything they own in plastic garbage bags fills the courtyard. The prospective residents are just teenagers, but have already been labeled drug addicts, schizophrenics, criminals, prostitutes, and outcasts. As one staff member puts it, “the most damaged population of youth that exists in society today”. Filming over the course of a full year, brothers Brent and Craig Renaud tell the raw and emotional stories of the incredible kids who seek shelter at Covenant House, and the staff struggling to work miracles everyday on their behalf.
