Here’s What Happens When Homeless People Read Mean Tweets #BaconBits

Raising the Roof Canada, a nonprofit aiming to change the conversation around homeless, produced a video of homeless people reading mean tweets. It’s a doozy.

De Ham's Take

Unlike many of the “Beroemdheden Lees Mean Tweets” knock offs, this video captures intimate moments of a harsh reality–the dehumanization of an entire group of people in our society. These intimate moments and the seemingly real responses from the people in the video make for a thought-provoking piece by Fort York VFX (production company). You can also visit humansforhumans.ca and view the whole campaign, including direct responses from the people in the video to the tweets. It’s worth a peek.
