BUMS’ PARADISE depicts the lives of men and women who lived in an abandoned landfill in Albany, California, vividly portraying the vibrant community they built as well as the amazing artworks that they created, and ultimately following them through their eventual eviction. BUMS’ PARADISE considers the question: what if the homeless were allowed to tell their own stories?
