DESCRIPTION:DOGTOWN REDEMPTION humanizes and celebrates this other America; the America 
 that many of us do not see. That a small recycling center has allowed so 
 many to survive on a daily basis—for years, even decades—is a minor 
 miracle. A reminder that even in trash there can be life, love and 
 redemption.\n\nDogged by addiction, mental health issues, homelessness and 
 poverty, the recyclers' grip on life remains tenuous. Recycling serves as 
 the only constant in their life. Yet with commodity prices collapsing, the 
 neighbors calling for a ban on shopping cart traffic, and the city 
 launching a sting against Alliance Metals, their way of life is threatened 
 from all sides. As the battle for the future of the recycling center heats 
 up, a larger debate over the history, culture and future of West Oakland 
 grows more intense.\n\nJoin the Coalition on Homelessness and the Street 
 Sheet for a screening of a film that tells the story of homeless people in 
 struggle for survival. We will also be joined by Amir Soltani, one of the 
 filmmakers, who will talk about the film. \n\nAlley Cat Books, 3036 24th 
 Street\nFebruary 18th @6pm\n\nDonations support the work we do here in San 
 Francisco on a daily basis to support the livelihood of those on the street 
 and to create systemic change that can end poverty and 
 homelessness.\n\n$5-10 suggested donation, No one turned away for lack of 
 funds \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/01/26/18795820.php
