Title

Aesthetic Realism Explains the Cause of America’s Housing Crisis

Description

“WHAT DOES A PERSON DESERVE?," a public service film against homelessness and hunger directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ken Kimmelman, was awarded a CINDY in the 41st Annual International Cinema in Industry Competition, and was named Best Public Service Film for the Year 2000 by the Santa Clarita International Film Festival.

The film is based on this urgent question first asked by Eli Siegel, American poet, philosopher, founder of the education Aesthetic Realism: "What does a person deserve by being alive?” Through a stirring montage of black-and-white photographs choreographed to original music by composer Edward Green, it passionately shows the unbearable suffering people are enduring, including millions of children, because of the economic injustice in America—and it presents the solution. The film ends with these words by Eli Siegel:

The film premiered at the National Summit on Homelessness in Washington, DC in 1999. Said Michael Stoops, Director of Field Organizing Projects of the National Coalition for the Homeless: “‘What Does a Person Deserve?’ is awesome. It has the potential of arousing the conscience of the American people. Eli Siegel’s statement is a wonderful philosophic point, and practical.”
