Under a Million Stars

Experts and homeless neighbors alike bust myths about Seattle’s homelessness crisis in a rigorously reported, human-centered dispatch from the front lines. Seattle declared homelessness a civil state of emergency in 2015, and since then the number of people sleeping outside has risen by more than 67 percent. Chezik Tsunoda's documentary Under a Million Stars, which received the Satterberg Foundation's Courageous Documentary Filmmaking Grant, offers 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.
