So, there's this documentary, 'Homeless - A Second Hand Bookstore for the Chronically Dispossessed.' It follows Leonidas Koursoumis, who spent years in publishing, only to end up on the streets, just when he was about to retire. What really stands out is his refusal to give in to despair. Instead, he channels his experiences into creating a second-hand bookstore, which becomes this unique haven for others like him. The film has this raw, gritty tone—captures the stark realities of homelessness but also the flickers of hope and community. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to sit with the weight of each story. It’s not flashy, but it’s genuine and carries a sense of dignity that's refreshing in the documentary space.
