San Diego is in the midst of a homelessness crisis and to many San Diegans, the end of homelessness appears to be out of reach. But with over six decades of experience, Father Joe’s Villages sees the future differently. This film is a story of hope and resilience that showcases the brilliance and potential that is within everyone regardless of their circumstances.
A Golden Globe-nominated animation studio worked with Father Joe's to create a three minute film of a girl, named Nicole, who lives in a world of minerals and gems and goes from a lump of coal to a diamond once she finds Father Joe's services.
The film is debuting Monday, May 8th and can be found at Father Joe's Villages website.
