It's about trying to tell those stories as well and get people to think outside the way we've been indoctrinated to believe addicts are scumbags, you know, homeless are bums, prostitutes are whores and all these pigeonholes that we put, people who have most likely been through hell early in their life and have now become, you know these characters that we see on the streets.
