“On the Edge,” featuring seven women who lost their housing for a variety of reasons, gives a painfully intimate look at the entwined connection between poverty, housing issues, social problems, addictions, family crises, and gender-related injustices. These compelling and forthcoming experts on homelessness shine a bright, unmitigated light on systemic and personal causes of their struggles, illuminating what has been a dark corner of social inaction and concern.

Followed by a panel discussion with: Diane Nylan, the film’s producer; Polly Trout, founder of Seattle Education Access; Tim Harris, director of Real Change Homeless Empowerment Project; and Britney Ferara, education advocate at Seattle Education Access.
