The Bay Community Theatre will host the world theatrical premiere of “The Razor’s Edge” – a new documentary providing a firsthand look at the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness and their struggles to survive on the streets – on Sunday, November 3 at 4 p.m. Doors for the event open at 3:30 p.m. Emmy-winning producer/ director Keith Famie and local representatives from three area nonprofits – Feed the Children, Leelanau Christian Neighbors, and 5Loaves2Fish Northern Michigan – will be in attendance for a panel discussion on this timely issue impacting communities across northern Michigan.
“What is it like to spend your entire day looking for food...a place to sleep...medical care? How do you find time to attempt to get back on your feet in a system that is complicated for even the most savvy users? Where can you find help? What services are available? How does someone end up this way? What relationships can be forged on the street?”
“The Razor’s Edge” takes audiences inside these questions and into the lives of those facing poverty and survival every day, many calling the streets their home. Viewers will gain a deeper understanding of the often misunderstood world of those experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. The film sheds light on several respected organizations that have built their foundation around helping those that live on the razor’s edge. Tickets to the screening are $10 and on sale now at TheBayTheatre. com.
