K Rd Chronicles
8 Titles
When you’re homeless, sleeping under the New Zealand flag might just be a final defence.That’s what Six reckons. She says fewer people would urinate on her when she used the national emblem as her blanket. Six doesn’t live on the streets any more but she hasn’t forgotten how if feels to fall. To find yourself without a roof, no corner of the world to call your own. She wanted to make sure other people understood what it’s like so she started a community paper about homelessness from the inside. There’s plenty of desperation in the stories shared but there’s also, above all, a sense of tolerance and humanity. In this video series, the K’ Rd Chronicles, we take to the streets of inner city Auckland and meet the people from Six’s world. Over eight weeks, as winter sets in, we’ll learn about their struggle to change their lives … and to stay alive.
