| Emmins becomes one of the 'invisible' so quickly it's scary, but this is the only way he can get to the meat of the story he's looking to tell. There are some seriously dangerous characters on this trail, but they've each got a story. 31 Days gets to the heart of homelessness. |

| A very human portrait of a lifestyle that so often occurs below our collective radar. Harsh, often touching, and always frightening. Really worth a read. |

| One of the most intriguing and challenging topics I've seen in years. Lotta balls too, and that's real, that's props. Rare these days. |
