Rough Sleepers | Homelessness Documentary

Tonight, as you sleep in your bed, 1 in every 200 Aussies are homeless. This number of people sleeping rough either on the streets, in shelters/crisis centres and by means of couch surfing has seen an astonishing increase in the city of Melbourne over the past couple of years, plunging many people into a devastating cycle they may struggle to break. This 30 minute documentary tells the story of a few of these inspirational Melburnians, as well as exploring what we, as individuals and a society, can do to help those in need. Thanks to Belinda Biffin from Frontyard Youth Services for donating her time to speak with us about this important issue and what her organisation is doing to conquer it.
