“Morales-Botero not only brings the Faces of the homeless to light on film as he spends time on the streets of the city, but he imprints their stories on the hearts and the minds of the Viewers. The stories of the homeless resonate into the tale of “every man”, as he introduces homeless citizens who could be our parents, our children, and even our own selves.” By Pamela Ruben

TAKE ME HOME

Ayden playfully wanders the park like any other 6-year-old kid but as the day ceases and the weariness increases,Ayden unlike others of his innocent age, had no home but that park. He, along with his family was displaced from his house. That's how Fabian Morales Botero, a Colombian filmmaker found him and was dumbstruckby his story. Perhaps allured by Ayden's vivid personality and his sweetness despite his circumstances, Fabian was moved beyond his tears, and to action.

“Take me home” explores the lives of several homeless whose stories will not only belie our prejudices but will bring us closer to their reality than we can imagine. “Take me home” drives light on a huge problem and delivers a big blow of human hope.

This documentary was started by a simple idea; a single man’s passion to use his art to raise awareness and its now heading a revolution around the nation. Fabian Morales-Botero (Director), Beth Davalos (social worker featured on “60 mins”), Arielle Metzger (16 year old girl featured on several TV shows as a homeless kid) and many more have joined forces, challenging society to come together and be aware of the new faces of homelessness.

Several Networks have praised Fabian Morales-Botero, “as the first Latin-American director to bring us a realistic approach that is often ignored by our American society; becoming one of the first Latino directors to document American indigence in the United States.”

“Spending more time with them, I felt more fully alive---perhaps the way our ancestors felt, nomadically moving from place to place, yet, with supportive companions, always. But, above all, I saw society at large clinging to the tired excuse---'only human'---intentionally shielded from that which we once knew, instinctively---that kindness and caring is 'only humane'; it was with them that I felt safe, it was by them that I was shown the greatest love I have yet to feel, it was with them that I became aware.”

Español: Ganador de el Premio a “Mejor Trabajo Humanitario” por el Ola Film Fest2013, de el Director

Colombiano FamorBotero. Take Me Home estudia la temática de la indigencia Americana, labor la cual nombro a el director como uno de los primeros cineastas Latinos en documentar la indigencia American en Los Estados Unidos.

--Ayden deambula por el parque como cualquier otro niño de 6 años pero cuando llega la tarde y el cansancio aumenta, Ayden, a diferencia de la mayoría de los niños, no tiene hogar. Él, junto a su familia fue desplazado de su casa. Así fue como Ayden se convirtió en uno de los protagonistas de esta historia. La historia de Ayden sensibilizó a el Director de Take Me Home, talvez por su vívida personalidad, sus ingeniosos comentarios o por el hecho de que tiene tan solo seis años y no debería estar pasando estas adversidades en las calles de los Estados Unidos.

TakeMe Home explora la vida de algunas personas que viven en la calle, y cuyas historias no sólo confrontarán nuestros prejuicios sino que nos permitirá acercarnos e identificarnos como nunca lo hubiéramos imaginado. Take Me Home saca a la luz un vasto problema y trae consigo un soplo de esperanza a nuestra sociedad.—

Este Documental comenzó con una simple idea, un hombre quiso utilizar su arte para darle voz y luz a las nuevas caras de la indigencia En Los Estados Unidos de una manera sensible y humana, fue así que el Director junto a BethDavolos (trabajadora social entrevistada por 60 min., Discovery Channel y ABC) al el lado de varios niños desamparados y varios adultos indigentes compartieron por un periodo de dos anos un jornada que por siempre unió sus vidas y ahora los lleva por un camino de concientización por todos los Estados Unidos, siendo un latino el que comenzó esta labor.
