I Spent a Day in LA's Most Dangerous Hood

Video Description

Skid Row in Los Angeles is a place that I always heard about since I was a kid. Its reputation as a homeless campground, where people suffer from complex social and mental health issues, is always glossed over when people think about Hollywood. But for the first time ever, I am going there to take you on an uncensored journey through one of the most notorious and dangerous hoods in the United States of America. We’ll explore the environment of Skid Row, meet the residents, and dive into the challenges they face daily -- from lack of housing and healthcare to drug addictions. This video is not just about showing the harsh side of life, but also about sparking conversations on what can be done to bring change. My main goal in going to Skid Row is to shed light on the human stories behind the headlines and statistics because, at the end of the day, people are just people. Whether you're familiar with Skid Row or hearing about it for the first time, I hope this video helps you understand the gravity of the situation and the humanity within it. Huge thank you to Heidi, Dante, and the whole team at Midnight Mission for guiding me around Skid Row to tell this story. Since 1914, they've been doing amazing work to help those in need on the streets of LA.
