World Premier of The NIMBY Project with Luis Guzman

Join us as we premiere The NIMBY Experience. The NIMBY Project is a non-profit initiative which aims to help homeless shelters and renovate them in a sustainable way. The NIMBY Experience is a documentary about actor Luis Guzman’s journey living on the streets. Luis, who is passionate about helping the homeless, wears special effects makeup to alter his appearance and experience a life of homelessness himself.

The NIMBY Project is an inspiration from the documentary "Not In My Backyard." The documentary takes viewers into battered women and children shelters across America. Throughout the voyage, you see the reality of these women, teens, and children who seek survival in a country that ignores this epidemic. This is the first time cameras were allowed in the shelters, let alone the underground shelters. Producer and Human Activist Jacquelyn Aluotto produces the documentary, not only to expose the truth, but to give 100 percent of the proceeds to save these shelters. The movement is headstrong with celebrities, activists, communities and artists across the nation. Famous actor Luis Guzman is a spokesperson for the "Not In My Backyard" documentary.

Saturday, February 23, 2013
