From VICE Documentary Films and executive producer Michael K. Williams comes the feature-length documentary film “Shelter,” which follows the lives of homeless youth in New Orleans over the course of a year as they navigate financial struggles, health, and mental illness.

Filming over the course of a full year, brothers and directors Brent and Craig Renaud tell the raw and emotional stories of the kids who seek shelter at the Covenant House on the outskirts of New Orleans’ French Quarter, many of whom have already been labeled as drug addicts, schizophrenics, criminals, and outcasts.

At the Covenant House, located on the outskirts of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana, the doors never close, and there is always room for one more. On any given day, a constant stream of young people carrying everything they own in plastic garbage bags fills the courtyard. The prospective residents are just teenagers, but have already been labeled drug addicts, schizophrenics, criminals and outcasts. As one staff member puts it, “the most damaged population of youth that exists in society today”.

The film will be released in theaters later this year, although no specific date has been given.
