These stories illuminate what it means to endure. A mother turns unimaginable grief into a lifelong pursuit of justice. A community perseveres in a culture that wants to erase them. A social worker offers empathy and presence on the front lines of the housing crisis. In different ways, each subject shows us that strength isn’t loud, it’s in the quiet decision to keep showing up, even when life feels impossible.
In Sacramento, a formerly unhoused man named Mark now spends his days helping others navigate the same system he once struggled to survive. Riding alongside him, we meet neighbors living in minivans, battling addiction, or falling through the cracks of well-intentioned policies. With disarming honesty and fierce compassion, Mark meets people where they are, offering help, not judgment. This documentary traces one man’s redemptive path while revealing the larger failures and quiet victories shaping life on the streets in the wealthiest state in the nation.
