In Sacramento, a formerly unhoused man named Mark now spends his days helping others navigate the same system he once struggled to survive. Riding alongside him, we meet neighbors living in minivans, battling addiction, or falling through the cracks of well-intentioned policies. With disarming honesty and fierce compassion, Mark meets people where they are, offering help, not judgment.

OUT HERE traces one man’s redemptive path while revealing the larger failures and quiet victories shaping life on the streets in the wealthiest state in the nation. The film suggests that taking a good, honest and human look at homelessness allows us to better understand the problem, and that doing so may be a necessary part of solving this complex problem.

This film screening is free and open to the public and will be followed by a conversation with director Lisa Klein.
