“Nobody Knows Us” is a documentary about the portrayals of the American homeless population in the media, and how these portrayals affect how everyday Americans view the homeless. The film sheds light on some of the stereotypes of the homeless in the media, using clips from popular films from the 1930’s to the present, television news and archival newsreels from the depression. Using interviews with homeless advocates, formerly homeless people and others, it attempts to establish both why these stereotypes flourish, and means that can be undertaken to change them.
