Samantha D.
In Samantha's senior year in the film department,
she co-directed a documentary on poverty and
homelessness titled "The Bottom Rung" with
Pink. To make the film she traveled across
the Eastern U.S. interviewing street people
in urban shelters and in cardboard box communities.

The standard conservative perspective is that
the homeless are degenerates who are simply
too lazy too work. After meeting these people
face to face she found that the story was
much more complex, and at times the implications
of what she learned brought her entire childhood
view of the world into question. The more
she saw of the world, the more her views began
to darken.
