There is a place in Phoenix, the Lodestar Day Resource Center, that supports people who are in or near the situation of homeless--and hopeless--ness. They used to have a Movie Club (there was a room where movies were shown and popcorn was provided) and then, I believe, there was a staff person who moderated discussion after the film. This was written about in a book by Mike Tapscott, Homeless Hero: Understanding the Spirit of Home. I had the good fortune to work with the author. He said that most of the audience came for the popcorn and got the surprise of learning something more about themselves. for me, I saw how the arts (even in its nonfiction form, such as a documentary) plays a role in the healing processes that go on around us, in so many unique ways.
