Summary
BUM'S PARADISE depicts the lives of men and women who lived in the Albany, California Landfill. It follows them through their eviction. The film emphasizes their concepts of community as well as the amazing art that they created. Instead of being a documentary about homelessness, Bums' Paradise considers the question: What if the homeless -- the indigent, the bums -- told their own stories?
