1. RB's 12-year-old documentary filmmaker — Arden Pala's "A Second Chance" will screen in New York and Los Angeles. Pala was taken with the view of the homeless he saw on the streets of San Diego. "It breaks my heart," Pala said. Pala explained why he created the film: “So people could see the different stories, how it’s not just that they went on drugs and they become homeless but it’s much more complicated than that.” Learn more: click into parenthesis, then click the link.
