With Homelessness in NYC being such a pervasive issue today's guest, former Commissioner of Mental Health Dr. Robert Okin covers the two years he spent on the street meeting and photographing homeless individuals with mental illness to find answers to many questions such as: How do they end up on the street? How do they survive the stress and privations of such a life? What combination of biological vulnerabilities, childhood traumas, drugs, mental disorders, and financial devastation brought them down? And how do some manage, against all odds, to climb out of this desperate situation? He masterfully brings these people to life through stories and images that are intimate and gritty. Join us when Dr. Robert Okin challenges us to face the situation and do something about it rather than simply look away on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.
