A city hosting the Super Bowl puts in a lot of hard work to prepare. But their treatment of the homeless may surprise you.

How would it feel to be told you’re not welcome in the city you live? I started this film in early January, knowing about the mayor’s plans to move homeless people away from “Super Bowl City.” For four days, I went out and listened to anyone on the streets interested in sharing their story. What I found is that there are plenty of intelligent, kind hearted people who have been dealt a bad hand. To make matters worse, they live under the constant threat of further displacement.

After watching this video I feel disappointed that people(homeless) have to relocate due to the “Super Bowl”. I feel that it is unfair because this land we live in belongs to the LORD for he created the existence of the land we breathe in and so forth. People that are homeless have the privilege to stay in their territory no matter the popularity of an event. I hope to hear responses from others on their viewpoint and GOD bless America!!!!!
