The public Cover Image DVD DVD

The public [videorecording] / Hammerstone Studios presents in association with Living the Dream Films an E2 Films production ; written and directed by Emilio Estevez ; produced by Lisa Niedenthal, Emilio Estevez, Alex Lebovici, & Steve Ponce.

Summary:

When a brutal blast of cold hits Cincinnati, the public library transforms from a safe haven for the homeless into a potential war zone. Those who have no place of retreat to evade the cold stage a sit-in in the library where they are tended by members of the library's staff. Soon the police arrive and a stand-off threatens to bring tragedy to the homeless individuals and those who care about their well-being. An eye-opening exploration of the basic values of humanity plays out as the cold rages outside.
