Trespass- World Premiere

Saturday, November 08, 2025 @ 3:00pm



Teaneck International Film Festival - Puffin Cultural Forum
20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666

documentary- 60 minutes

Directed by Kim Watson

Description: Drawn from the personal relationships filmmaker Kim Watson has developed with his subjects, TRESPASS is a feature-length documentary about the homeless and the circumstances that led them to the streets, the exceptional challenges, and the occasional successes which they navigate daily. You will observe the individuals and organizations that attempt to help them, and how the human apathy that so demeans homeless people, combined with the profiteers and power-structures that criminalize them, keeps them on the streets.

Talkback with Director/Photographer Kim Watson
