Right, exactly. Kids have to think about that. Or imagine if there's a video of your grandma or grandpa out there when he was a kid talking about eating ass. That's a horrible experience. To discover that about your respected elder later in life, it's tough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, the weird thing is we don't really extract answers from people. What makes a good interview is when they're ready to talk. The more you have to talk and try to get an answer out of them... It's just not a good vibe. So we kind of look for people who appear to be already ready to talk. Open body language, like they seem confident and verbose, and we approach them first. There's a look.

We wouldn't approach a shy person and be like, come on, tell me. No. What about a person with pain in their eyes?

Yeah. We just did a video in the Vegas tunnels. Obviously, it got taken down by Fox, but whatever. I was going to make a joke that I didn't see it. We tried to help a lot of them by getting them IDs. And when I made the documentary, I had this idea that it's a big roadblock for them is getting identification.

Without IDs, you can't check into a homeless shelter, you can't do day labor, you can't qualify for housing, nothing. So when we interviewed them, they'd basically tell us, if I had my ID, I wouldn't be here. And so we said, okay, we're going to really help this time. We're not just going to talk to them about their struggles. We're going to actively go out and get them IDs at the DMV.

So we did that and nothing really changed in their life. And we sat down with a recovery specialist who works directly with them day in and day out. And he explained to me that he's been trying to do the same thing I tried to do in a one week period for the past 10 years.

And that they have deeper underlying traumas and pain that need to be dealt with far before they even take the steps to enter society as a housed person. That's a heavy truth right there. Breaking that shame cycle has to come first because you got to think, right?
