Signs of Humanity is a documentary film exploring the inter-related themes of home, homelessness, compassion and humanity. Artist and professor Willie Baronet has purchased more than 1,000 homeless signs over the past 22 years and uses the collection to create installations to raise awareness about homelessness. In 2014, Willie and three filmmakers drove across the U.S. interviewing homeless persons. Signs of Humanity is a film about that trip.
The film is the winner of the Best Feature-Length Documentary at Chain Film Festival (New York City) and is an official selection of the United Nations Association Film Festival (San Francisco), the Unspoken Human Rights Film Festival (Utica, NY) and the Dallas International Film Festival.
