About "Where God Left His Shoes"

A Vulcan Productions Film. Directed by Salvatore Stabile. Starring John Leguizamo
2007 Humanitis Prize - Best Sundance Feature Film.
"For its unblinking look at the desperation inherent in poverty and homelessness, for its edgy portrayal of a father and stepson trying to connect and for its implicit belief that a family can be the strongest refuge in adversity."
-John Horn, Humanitas Prize Trustee
When Frank, Angela, and their two children are evicted from their New York City apartment, they have no choice but to move into a homeless shelter. After a few difficult months, good news comes their way on Christmas Eve: a nearby housing project has an apartment available immediately however, Frank needs a job on the books in order to qualify.
While the rest of the city prepares for Christmas, Frank and his ten-year-old stepson, Justin, roam the cold streets of New York trying to find a job by day's end. Where God Left His Shoes is the story of a family that refuses to break apart during the darkest time of their lives and discovers that they will survive as long as they have each other.
