DESCRIPTION:“Storied Streets,” an intimate look at how individuals cope with the 
 challenges of homelessness, launches a new year of Second Saturday 
 Documentaries at Niles Discovery Church, 36600 Niles Blvd. at Nursery Ave. 
 The 1:30 pm showing on January 14, is free and open to the public.  
 \n\nLouis Chicoine, Executive Director of Abode Services, will moderate 
 discussion. Abode Services is a non-profit that secures permanent homes for 
 individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Alameda and Santa 
 Clara Counties. \n\nStarting in 2011, recent film school graduate Jack 
 Robbins and several friends traveled from Los Angeles to New York, visiting 
 13 cities to dig deeply into the stories of people who live homeless every 
 day. They used unobtrusive cameras and cell phones to film frank 
 conversations.\n\nThere is the story of the high school student abandoned 
 by his mother in ninth grade who lived under the school bleachers and 
 continued to go to school with no one the wiser about his situation. 
 Another story is that of a man who cannot bear to lie down on the ground so 
 has slept upright on public transportation for 20 years. The subjects are 
 articulate while the stories are poignant and sometimes hopeful.  
 \n\nRobbins released his film in 2015 with a little help from Executive 
 Producer Susan Sarandon, award-winning actress, political activist and his 
 mother. \n\nThe Second Saturday Documentary Series is co-sponsored by Niles 
 Discovery Church and the San Jose Peace & Justice Center. For more 
 information, call 510 797-0895 or visit www.nilesdiscoverychurch.org. \n
