Directed and Produced by Brian Schodorf this film is an exploration of how the drug afflicted homeless population affects society as a whole with exclusive interviews with Chicago’s top social and political leaders.

Schodorf’s relationship with the men allows the viewer to get a true inside look at what life is like as a permanent resident of the streets.

Poverty in Chicago, also, investigates the devastating loss of over 150 lives in the winter of 2006 at the hand of a deadly heroin epidemic.

“Ive told you. Now, I’m going to show you,” says one homeless man who leads the crew through the most crime infested areas of Chicago’s south and west sides, inside the drug trade itself.
