history of images of homelessness in narrative film
Definition
- Homelessness is a prominent theme in American narrative film, from the earliest silent shorts to contemporary studio features. While homeless characters appear in every decade of film history, the most significant images are found in silent films from the 1890s to the mid-1930s, in films of the Depression era and its aftermath (1929–1941), and in films of the Reagan-Bush era (1980–1992).
