Former Homeless Filmmaker’s documentary airs on Howard University Television
WHUT – Howard University – will air the documentary titled “Down but Not Out”.
This ETV South Carolina special follows one man’s daily routine as he survives on the streets of Columbia South Carolina. From the shelter to the temp labor services to the soup kitchens, Eric “Protein” Moseley take the viewers on a journey through his world, encounter anger, desperation and hope in one brief breath. The documentary is an ongoing conversation with the streets. The participants in this dialogue are prophets, poets, preachers, and musicians. Many of them are drug addicts, criminals or mentally ill. All of them are either homeless or work directly with the homeless.
Moseley’s track record proves that he is a true inspiration by already producing another popular documentary titled “Skid Row Journey”. “Down But Not Out” aired on ETV April 29, 2008 and is still in rotation to this date. The film also aired in San Francisco and Seattle as well. Both films were filmed while Moseley was actually homeless.
Together these films have been featured a total of fourteen times in local newspapers from South Carolina to Los Angeles up to Washington State. Moseley has even been recognized in Los Angeles as the very first homeless filmmaker to have documentaries aired on opposite coasts. Moseley is now turning his attention to his new film which is a documentary titled “A Cry Out To Obama” which will premier in the near future.
With the stock market being volatile, the rising of inflation, foreclosure on housing up 0.85 percent, unemployment at a all time great high since The Great Depression of 1929, with the gas prices fluctuating and the stock market falling under 10,000 for the first time in over 5 years. These and many other statistics are some of the reasons why poverty is a topic we should no longer brush under the rug. “Skid Row Journey”, “Down But Not Out” and along with the new and upcoming documentary “A Cry Out To Obama” would be the perfect example of what poverty stricken areas are all about all across America.
