Under Water
Under Water examines more than the landscape of homelessness in Santa Barbara; it delves into fundamental generosity from the point of view of volunteers, the city, law enforcement, and homeless people themselves. Showers of Blessing is one solution that provides a mobile shower unit from Carpinteria to Goleta, California. Its volunteers range from the pragmatic to the nearly religious ecstatic, but all are united in compassion and service. Equally dedicated, though not necessarily in agreement, are views brought to bear by the city’s restorative police unit. People weigh in according to their experience, and present a riveting reveal meant to promote discussion and dialog on the meaning of helping others.
