CWG member and Vice President Mark Anderson has published a book and documentary film titled: Chattown Chatta: Our Homeless, which are the products of interviews with unsheltered people.
FILM SYNOPSIS
In this film you will view interviews with homeless people selected randomly from the streets of Chattanooga. This project is dedicated to providing a space for the unsheltered to tell their own stories in their own words, so that the housed may hear, understand, and grow in compassion for the people we view daily on our streets from a distance. Their stories may in some cases confirm our preconceptions, but more often, these stories will disturb our presumptions.
SHOWINGS:
Saturday April 5, 2 to 4 PM at the Chattanooga Public Library, downtown branch
Sunday April 6, 3 to 5 PM at Barking Legs Theater, 1307 Dodds Avenue,
(Sunday only, suggested donation $10-)

Panelists: Representatives from the Mayor’s office, The Chatt Foundation, Chattanooga Metro Ministries and Doing What We Can Homeless Outreach
