No Room In Paradise Documentary: Anthony Aalto
Across the islands, in just about every neighborhood, there are people who are homeless. For years now, these no longer invisible people have migrated from place to place to find a spot they can call home. That is, until routed by police or convinced by outreach workers to go to a shelter. Affordable housing figures prominently in the scenarios of current and future homelessness and that’s not news to many of the people whose stories are profiles in a film soon to debut on the small screen. Anthony Aalto is the filmmaker of “No Room in Paradise.”

Ken Rudin, the political junkie joined us to explore whether or not there is anything to suggest we might get a little more substance in the last Presidential debate.
