Experts and homeless neighbors alike bust myths about Seattle’s homelessness crisis in a deeply reported, humanistic dispatch from the front lines. Homelessness was declared a civil state of emergency in Seattle in 2015. Since then, the number of people sleeping outside has actually risen by more than 67 percent. Chezik Tsunoda's documentary Under a Million Stars, which received the Satterberg Foundation's Courageous Documentary Filmmaking Grant, is a deeply reported yet humanistic dispatch from the front lines of this crisis. Armed with facts and empathy, the film busts pernicious and all-too-common myths about homelessness.
