Falling Up
Event: Saturday, June 9 from 7:00–9:00pm

An insightful look at the power of human transformation of a man who overcame drug addiction and life on the streets of Los Angeles

The portrait of Johnny Popp runs counter to many preconceptions of the homeless. Intelligent, gifted with a sense of humor and a philosophical attitude, he practices a brutally honest self-awareness. His concentration on one individual never limits the filmmaker. Litwinczuk  finds the universal in the particular allowing Johnny to stand in for the many disenfranchised. He broadens the scope of his lens further to incorporate those remarkable people who serve the homeless, such as Mark Moten, mental health worker, and Lilian Lucero, the case manager who handles the complicated bureaucratic paperwork that makes the reintegration back into society possible. The film also presents the daily struggle that the LA Police Dept. has in keeping order on the streets and Dept. of Health’s challenge to care for the uninsured. (53 minutes)
