Going Homeless is a documentary short about exploring the every day lives of our homeless population in Brisbane. James Peters will live on the streets for 7 days with only $10 in his pocket to experience how the other half life.

Homelessness is an often overlooked part of our society. Every year, more and more people in Australia are forced to take their lives on the streets. Malnutrition, violence, drug and alcohol abuse. These are all long term effects that are often accredited to being a common hand in hand traits to homelessness. 

But what is it really like? How can you help?

Part of the funds raised during this campaign will be donated to homeless people in Brisbane either directly or by buying essential items for their every day lives. The rest will be split up between Pay A Sack Forward and The Big Issue organisations to help fund their operations. 

A detailed cost breakdown is on its way!

The challenges for this documentary are extensive. Winter everywhere is always a tough time for people, let alone people that live on the streets. Brisbane has recently broken a 103 year old record for the coldest winter. Because of the recent circumstances I will be ensuring that I have the appropriate clothing for a winter environment.

Safety is always first and for most a huge importance when it comes to attempting social experiments like this one. I will be carrying an emergency mobile phone on me at all times with the numbers of local Police Stations and Hospitals. Local Police stations will be informed about my presence in the area.
