Synopsis

In a social experiment, Nicholas, a young Barbadian, takes to the street and pretends to be homeless for 24 hours. Passers-by react differently as he reaches out for their help. What he finds out is heartbreaking: vagrants and the homeless need more than food and shelter; they need to feel human.
