The Masculinity Project: Gregory (Invisible Men) 6mins

Produced by Angela Tucker

Today the face of homelessness in America is this: a black man, around 40 years old, living in a large urban city. The Invisible Men series are artful, experimental snapshots into the lives of two formerly homeless men in New York City. Here we meet Gregory who admits that moving out of the homeless community is a struggle but one he was willing to undertake because “you can’t grow old on the street.” How does Gregory’s story shine a light on this national problem?

This is my favorite addition to the Invisible Men series. This clearly illustrates the idea of homelessness as malaise and not malfortune.
