"I had it all and ended up on the streets," says Elvin. "I put a
smile on my face for my kids' sake," says Cecilia. "I'm hoping I
can survive another day," says Eddie. These are the gritty,
unfiltered voices of America's homeless. This epidemic is putting
families, children, veterans and executives on the street. While
their stories are often ignored, they're not invisible, thanks to
the efforts of InvisiblePeople.tv founder Mark Horvath. He travels
the country collecting and sharing raw, unedited videos and gives
voice to the nation's homeless. These are the stories of real
homeless people, collected and retold from InvisiblePeople.tv
videos. Interspersed with those real life stories are reflections
from social media experts, nonprofit heroes, technology executives
and more, sharing their connection to homelessness and how the
inspiring example of InvisiblePeople.tv has impacted them. You'll
also find common misconceptions about homelessness and suggestions
for how you can get involved. It's time to move beyond the
stereotypes and stop looking away. It's time to open our eyes.
"We're homeless, we're not less human," says Tish. Featuring
