This documentary follows the increasing economic divide through the lens of Jacob and his four homeless bandmates, who have become the house band for a hip eatery on the Venice Beach Boardwalk.

These homeless people are not to be pitied. They need mental help. Life is tough, and some of us just aren't strong enough. Sure, circumstance and opportunity are important factors but I know poor and unfortunate people who don't turn to drugs and alcohol for help and who are happy!

@@EnlistedBombin i was very aware of that. We allowed the band to sleep in our parking lot so they wouldn’t be bothered and the amount of break ins and issues they stopped was immense. We built them a storage cage in our parking lot so they could store their musical equipment because they weren’t allowed to take it to the homeless bridge housing.

It was '67 - '68, Venice Beach where I met Carlos Santana and his brother and we all joined in and kept time with anything that made a noise. Later we watched, as POP burned, late at night. I met Laurence Ferlinghetti that same year in SF. I was 13, homeless and doing just fine. Got work, as a runner, for a law office......I was 14 by then. Now when the young leave home it's drugs and abuse. These guys are so solid.....everyone should be fortunate just to know one of them. This is BEST Venice Beach, Homeless video, ever. No one could top this.......very engaged and transparent, thank you so much.

When America experienced lower poverty rates than any other advanced democracy, local governments designated specific areas known as "Settlers' Landings." These areas were intended for people across the country who intentionally left their previous homes behind in search of improved living standards. They allowed them to exchange ideas and share their creativity to progress in resettling. This initiative aimed to facilitate the exchange of ideas and promote creativity to advance society. In contrast, a sign of the times is that civic authorities now employ "Social Identity Deconstruction," which many people perceive as a form of isolation and humiliation. The California author Jack London captured the stark contrast between the "Homeless" and the American Settler tactic in his observation: "Class supremacy can rest only on class degradation," as expressed in his work, "The People of the Abyss."

This video should be a award winner! It is so well made I can't believe I found it just sitting here on RU-vid like this. Jacob is a fantastic poet he has such heart and what he says he is living the life and he's narrating it in such poetic beauty, it goes so well with the sound of the ocean in the background . Being without a home has advantages sometimes but most of the time it is a hardcore struggle.I don't know what it's like to be without a home on the beachfront but in the desert it's a whole another story. I truly believe that there could be no other video the shows the intensity of the struggle America with the homelessness, the shelterless people. Jacob has put a very positive twist to this whole thing by the way he speaks I'm in love with him totally!

To your comment I am a 63 year old woman living in my car with my husky dog of 11 yrs I've had him. I have 214 University College Credits in Psychology, Criminal Justice and Paralegal Coursework and Drugs did not put me here. Variables that pulled up on one another such as I had married a successful but diagnosed Narcissist that put me through decade of court battles over kids and property, an inheritance and 3 titled to homes free and clear my mother had stolen from me and a decade of TEDRA CASE BATTLES I went through in which I went under attack by the individuals who took everything. A pandemic at the same time I discovered my Due Process rights were violated and I would have one if my mother's beautiful homes. Fraudulent documents and online posts claiming I was missing when everyone knew where I was at in which I had started my own cleaning business back in Alaska where my adult children were at. I went through Identity Theft losing every memory and pictures of I and my mother and my children online during the Pandemic too. My information was leaked into the dark web on social media accounts and then came the stalking. When ppl push you into homelessness intentionally and herrass you in retaliation or fear and validation for what they did it's easy to then use a smeer campaign against you by the Stigmatized Label of homelessness. Everyone has a story and mine is quite unique or is it? Greed and corruption is brutal and I often wonder how many individuals as women may share parts of my story. As Mark Twain once said History Rhymes. In the 1800s women were committed to insane asylums women of great minds like the autobiography of Elizabeth Ward Packard in the Book titled THE WOMAN THEY COULDNT SILENCE. They did this for their endowments and the children. Like what we understand today as Narcissistic Abuse and Devaluation and Dismissal. So just as we closed these hospitals of those who truly did need mental help. We know they are in the streets today as my story is a frame of reference, I wonder how many women like myself are now experiencing homelessness by the same greed and families decided through Narcissistic Abuse and greedy hands of stealing inheritances etc. Senior women are the new growing crises of homelessness. It's something to analyze and explore if we can get over the stigmatization associated with the unhoused. One example is trauma induced by abuse can cause PTSD. Living on the streets whether in car or can also cause forms of it as I've had wallets stolen even while living in a nice car. I've had tires slashed and drove out of a rest stop with no breaks in which a dealership said the break line was cut. I've seen drug trafficking and the transport of and afraid that I could be endanger if anyone knew I had a criminal justice degree. I've seen signs of human trafficking and in one rest stop a dead body close by was found and a detective asking questions for information. That case today is on Portland news. So you see often what police will see but you are not a police officer and nor do you have back up. So there are my issues with my story and today my understanding of the issues surrounding these circumstances. When crime went up if stolen vehicles etc and I have a nice car I had just one more thing to worry about.

Read my response to the comment below because there is really too much to say on this very important issue. From the inner hurt and pain that grows as we see in the video when families take no accountability as with this man told he is stubborn for not reaching out to his father as he is the one homeless and as a child his father beat him. Families devided and abuse is one chapter in itself that can be written. I hope to write one book in all that in which I have learned about this valuable experience. Everyone has their story and if we dived more into it we could learn more. That in which includes wealth, power, control and greed. In scripture the book of JOB and how as a society we shift blame is one place to begin. The one book I hope to write on this issue is to cover more than my own story. Being unhoused in a world or country that honors success and image plays a major role in challenging your own spirituality and soul. For understanding that God loves you gives you emotional and mental strength to go on in a society in which there is so much judgement.

Man if I could right a whole essay on here I would! I had the pleasure of playing two summers with these guys. Most of the time it was trainwreck but still I learned so much playing sets with y’all. I can honestly say I feel so thrilled yall were filmed to tell your story. These guys will be forever remembered and for good reason. They gave the people music no matter what and just kept on keeping on to SURVIVE. Fresh out of highschool you guys were the first band I played with. I had just done my first live concert at Barnum hall at Samohi for the artist for arts foundation and got to meet Jackson Browne It was shortly after highschool that I started to busk and street perform but, Y’all helped me hone my skills and sharpen my improvisation 🎸 I just wanted to say. Thank you for helping me become a better musician and I’ll cherish our time together. Rip David Waller. Special shoutout to (AL, Jacob, Soldier, Steve-o, Benny, Jet, Davy Dee, Greg Bluebeard, Joey California, Panama and all the OG’s who hung around Venice before the pandemic. Like I said I could go on and on. School of hard knocks. God bless yall. I can honestly say I feel very fortunate to have played with this , rambunctious, wild, off beat and sometimes just ridiculous and insane group. Y’all had talent though. Plus good spirits and good hearts. Especially Jacob and Steveo and soldier. You had good days and bad days but on those days in the middle is where the magic happened and I soaked up every minute of it and I know I’m a better individual for it. Flyterisk 420 you inspired a young kid from a guitar player in his bedroom to a live player ready to pounce on a moments notice on any chord progression. And for that I’m truely grateful. You helped me turn my dreams of playing live into a reality. Thank you for all those enlightening experiences. I love you all🙏🫶🏻-Frankie

I think its because i could relate to the whole band thing, being a professional musician for decades, we all know ppl whos dropped out, off, and strayed from it because of addiction. At first i thought the houseband was just forst chapter of many different stories, not the actual entirety of the doc.

Nice intro of each musician emerging to get ready for the set. Sad reality and so much the city can do, but does not. So much in this world that causes trauma, it's important to help and support. Reminds me of the Jack London book, People of the Abyss. Glad he was able to heal, forgive, and have strong will to make a change. One of the best documentaries I have seen.

I totally agree, but I've found the comments so far to be heartfelt. Wealthy, and a lot of not wealthy, do NOT understand. It doesn't take much to become homeless. I was almost there, myself. The powers that be want to keep us pointing the finger at each other - I know a lot of people who blame the homeless for their plight. But, it could happen to anyone.

I was part of this group until 2019 when I got into housing. Jacob was a decent guy. So smart, could remember and discuss just about any book/movie he had ever watched. Was good to watch this since i'm pretty sure a few of these guys are gone now.

And the meek shall inherit the earth. I lived in Venice in the 80s, on Rose across from that golf course. I was homeless then, 17 years old, abandoned by my family. I let my therapist rape me in order to keep a roof over my head. I put myself through college, made the Dean's list the semester he started raping me. Now I'M homeless again because my SSI is not enough to pay rent. My family have six spare bedrooms and a house in Mexico. I'm not welcome there. I don't do drugs, have a degree and TBI. Imagine: What if family members with spare bedrooms were legally required to take in their own? What if municipalities rewarded and subsidized home owners for taking in their homeless relatives? THAT would put a dent in the homeless problem.

I’m not trying to be offensive, but you have a degree, have you ever been able to use that degree to get a job? It is sad that your family will not help you, also if you’re still in California you have no chance of surviving, but if you can get somewhere else you may be able to afford to live..

I'm so glad I watched it I almost skipped it thinking it was just going to be more of the same stuff already found on RU-vid. I was so wrong about that. It was heartwarming and sad. Such a talented group of people. I'm glad that you're able to document some of it and I wonder if some form of the band is still playing today?

As a spirit having a human experience, you can choose not to merely exist but to be fully conscious and aware of living in a limited world. When you take a conscious part in life and its multitudes of choices, you won't let life happen to you - you will make life happen for you. Poignant documentary. Love and light from a very cold winter in South Africa. 🎉😊🥶🤗🇿🇦🥳🤞🏾

I am compelled to throw out my comment. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley in the 70s and my mother would take four kids to the Venice Beach at least twice a week. We kind of grew up there and in the valley. I have since been gone 40 some years and I am looking for a way to get back to the beach. Venice beach that is. I live in San Antonio Texas For the last 30 years. My soul longs to be at Venice Beach. One day hopefully within the next year, I will make the transition to the next chapter in my life. I don’t necessarily want to move there and be homeless, but I’m not totally against it. I am not rich or wealthy but I know who I am and I know what I want. I want to thank you for making this documentary. It is very well put together and a truly interesting story. Hope to see you soon my first true love, Venice Beach.❤❤❤😊😊😊

I'm from SA too. Live in the SF Bay area Marin but I love the time I have spent in Venice. It still has the vibe somewhat while most places are too genderfied/cookie cutter with no soul just bland clone. Up from venice on the coast is tons of RVs people with their cars next to it for work and life. Also besides RVing consider maybe a hostel to start in LA. Heck you can get a free or cheap RV out here in Cali. Especially north me but in northern Cali up to the Oregon border.
