For quite some time, I’ve been following a rather amazing individual — Mark Horvath — who set off on a journey ‘to make the invisible visible.’ His words, not mine.
Over the summer, InvisiblePeople.tv embarked upon a journey across America to document the homeless issue in this great country. Yes, it’s that issue you turn away from when you’re surfing the channels and run across another homeless documentary. You want to see ‘shoot ‘em ups’ and ‘love stories’ and ‘comedies’ and, well, reality TV. Who wants to watch another depressing exposé on the homeless in America, right?
“The invisible guy didn’t intend to become homeless. I didn’t plan on living on the street. Everyone on the streets has their own story, some made bad decisions, others were victims, but none of them deserve what they have been left with, and it is a reflection of our own society that we just leave them there.
Please always remember, the homeless people you’ll ignore today were much like you not so long ago.” — Mark Horvath (formerly invisible)
