DCTV Presents Our House
On Dan Taylor's first day out of prison, he had nowhere to go and faced a life-changing decision: he could return to his past of drug addiction or try for something better. Through a chance encounter he met Derek, a young Christian anarchist, who invited him to move into a new and very unusual community called 'Our House'.
An alternative to the impersonal homeless shelter system, 'Our House' was an under-the-radar, illegal squat where the founders and the homeless lived and ate communally in an abandoned warehouse in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Besides a roof and daily meals, Dan also found lasting friendships, a spiritual haven in a makeshift 'prayer tent,' and the hope of putting his life back together. But when the warehouse is set for demolition to make way for luxury condos, Dan and the other residents must confront the inevitable end of their community and what that will mean for their futures.
Screening followed by a Q&A with Directors Greg King & David Teague.
