Lead Me Home

Lead Me Home (2021) is a short documentary worth watching online on iFILM. In forty minutes, directors Jon Shenk and Pedro Kos build a portrait of homelessness across the American West Coast — Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.

There is no narrator and no lecture. People living in tents and cars speak for themselves, framed against gleaming downtown towers, and that contrast lands harder than any voiceover could. The film earned an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Short. Quiet and unflinching, it suits viewers who care less about statistics than about the faces behind them.
