Press Release: Methodist City Action
Putting Homlessness In Focus
"Bringing together the ideas of those who have worked with,
researched, and lived homeless, PUTTING HOMELESSNESS IN FOCUS explores
the impact of this hidden problem on the many New Zealanders who
experience it, and on the society that fails to recognise it."
Methodist City Action will host a koha screening of this documentary
about homelessness in New Zealand with film-makers Charlie Bleakley
(threedollarpictures) and Kate Amore (University of Otago) on Friday
27th June, at 6pm. The screening will be followed by discussion time
with local researchers and professionals involved in working with
homelessness in Hamilton. Koha will be given to the Hamilton
Christian Nightshelter.
This event is open to all – public, government and non-government
agencies, and those who have experienced homelessness. We encourage
the Waikato community to come along and learn more about this often
misunderstood, and marginalized community.
Venue: Methodist Centre, London Street, Hamilton.
