"A City in Crisis" takes an unflinching look at how the greater Reno, Nevada area has grappled with its housing and homeless crisis. Though focused and primarily shot during the global pandemic, the footage goes back as far as 2010 through early 2024. This documentary reveals how the number of people without shelter who have died each year skyrocketed from 2016 to the present. Despite a massive infusion of government dollars invested into the problem, many say the housing and homeless crisis has only gotten worse. "A City in Crisis" is produced by journalist and educator Bob Conrad, who has been reporting on homelessness in Washoe County for nearly a decade. “What a powerful film.” –Jodi Miller, Night Off The Streets, Carson City “Powerful and disturbing.” –Elaine, Reno “Everybody needs to see this documentary. Everyone needs to understand the crisis of homelessness in the Washoe County area.” –Edwin Lyngar “We need to do better, and I hope this documentary will hopefully inspire individuals to ask, ‘Am I doing enough? Have I done enough?’” –William Mantle, Reno “I think this film is critical for anybody living in our community. How we deal with this issue will define our community for generations to come.” –Ben Castro, Reno Initiative For Shelter and Equality
