No Room At The Inn is a very interesting documentary about the homeless. In fact, it helps shatter some misconceptions about the homeless.
It is easy to think of the homeless as hopeless people who don’t want to do any better than they are doing. It is easy to view them as beyond help.
That is not so.
From one town to another, the Hungry Planet Bible Project has visited with the homeless in various shelters, etc. There they found people who were being helped to overcome addiction, walk with Christ, and live a normal life. In short, though homeless, these people had hope because someone cared.
No Room At The Inn gives us the stories of some of these people, thus helping us to be aware of what is around us, and awaken us to the needs of the homeless.
Included is a reading of the Christmas story by various of those who were interviewed.
When all is said and done, I view the homeless in a different light. My heart now has been softened toward them.
