1st Interview video: Mike
This is how it started: I saw a guy riding around the neighborhood on his bike, peddling with one leg, and I was amazed and curious.

I recorded it and realized that the other people of Chattanooga should hear his story too. And so began this project: Chattown People: Our Homeless
