Swept
Short Film - Documentary
Director: Adam Silver
Produced by: Human Rights Watch
Utilizing powerful testimonies from unhoused individuals and experts in the field, Swept details how authorities in Los Angeles use sanitation sweeps to criminalize unhoused people. There are far better solutions, and this documentary serves as a call to action for not only for Los Angeles, but for cities across the country.
I came onto this project when I was asked to help finish out the film and see it through final delivery. I am proud to say that this film has made a powerful impact socially and politically by amplifying crucial voices that are often left out of the conversation.
