This program brought to you in part with support from the following.

(soft bright orchestral music) (soft bright orchestral music continues) A SRO is a room and you gotta build your whole life in a room.

You gotta eat in this room, you gotta bathe in this room, you gotta work in this room.

You have to live your whole life in this room.

- [Tenant 1] No kitchen, bathroom in the hallway.

It's called a single room occupancy SRO Hotel.

(soft orchestral music) - [Tenant 2] We had no other place to go.

Other hotels wouldn't rent to the drag queens or transsexuals.

- [Tenant 3] My parents and I were lucky to even get this room.

It's $900, but it's a place we can call home.

(door buzzes) - Usually it looks way better in here, it's just I'm in paint mode so I can't, like, really be tidy.

I just don't like this psychology orange in here and this pleasantry yellow.

It's kind of like, as a person who done color theory in college, it's like, dude, you're just, you got too much positivity going on.

So you got sickly and confusing and they thought they were doing something good, but it has an adverse effect and you can see it in the mentality of the people around.

I started this one last week.

I don't know.

(laughs) Sometimes I be goin' through different things.

(Sylvester grunts) Oh.

(laughs) Geez Louise.

I don't know, sometimes people do commissions for things that they have around.

Like I did a commission for a store that sold, like, hotdogs and fries and I got like fries and hotdogs for a whole year.

(Sylvester chuckles) So it's like, I got a, I was on a fry and hotdog diet.

(people chattering in the distance) (phone ringing) - Advocate office.

This is Jacque.

There's an SRO right on, I think it's Turk?

Not Turk, um, Taylor.

It's like, yeah, it's one on Taylor Street.

It's like five-something.

Shared bathroom.

I mean, depending on what you're looking for or what your budget is, I could try to help you in my spare time on Fridays.

I'm a shelter client advocate.

After my shelter experience, I've been through way too many different instances where people overlook stuff and bad **** happens for me to not go ahead and speak up.

Oh my God.

- [Elderly Passerby] God bless you two.

- Thank you.

(vehicles beeping) - [Zallah] Mommy!

- No one wants to live this way, being trapped in a mini studio where your table doubles as your bed.

But, you know, I'll take my blessings wherever I can get 'em because I definitely didn't have anywhere else to go.

I'm literally signed up on every section eight wait list that there is from here to Napa, on that wait list since I was 18.

- [Samson] Hi.

- [Jacque] I'm tired.

- [Samson] Sorry.

You think I can win "Top Chef" or you can win "Top Chef?"

- We can win.

Think positive.

(Jacque laughs) (Zallah babbling) Say, "Think positive."

(Zallah babbling) Uh huh, it's possible.

Right, my boy.

- Oh, you heard that?

He said, "It's possible."

(laughs) - High.

- Look, there it go.

(Zallah humming) You like those fruit snacks, huh?

(Zallah humming) Go.

Say hey.

Here look, give him one of those.

Give him one.

Maybe he might want one.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Watch out.

- How you doin'?

- Hey, Sunbear.

- Come on, girl.

What'd you get?

You want me to open 'em for you?

- Yes, please.

- I had about three days clean the day he was born 'cause I kept trying and failing.

You know, relapsing.

So they took him and put him in foster care and gave us ultimatums.

And then I went down to the HOT Team and I just begged 'em.

I said, look, you know I got got this new son, you know, I've been struggling.

I said, I need a place to be, to get clean.

You know, to stay clean.

I can't do it homeless.

Saved my life.

Really.

(Sunbear mumbles) Come on, buddy.

So Amy and I were together for twelve years.

After we got clean, we drifted apart.

I was all, wait a minute, you don't even like The Grateful Dead.

Who are you?

Basically Amy and I got rid of all the ******** and drama that comes with the relationship that you don't have with a friendship.

We still have a little bit here and there, but I think we're getting better because we both are 100% committed into raising this child.

- [Character On TV] We cannot let you leave.

We made an island.

- [Singer] Nostalgia, de la señora Saviñón, en la voz de... Esta.

(child giggling) (Christina and Shirley speak in Chinese) (Christina speaks in Chinese) (Christina and Shirley speak in Chinese) (Shirley cries) (Christina and Shirley speak in Chinese) - [Shirley] Thank you, mommy.

(Christina speaks in Chinese) (Christina and Shirley speaking in foreign language) (seagulls squawking) - My first time being here, I remember I just got put out of this place called MSC South.

I got put out of there because I was under age, one.

I was 16 in there, but not only that, you know, there was a lot of predators in there.

(chuckles) I got into a fight with one in the middle of the night and since I wasn't supposed to be there anyway, I got put out.

(scoffs) I wandered around until I could find a nice little dark place to sleep and the first night I didn't get messed with here.

I found some, a food source around the corner.

It's kind of quiet here.

You know, it wasn't many people down here and my back was up against the wall.

So, yeah, it was a prime spot for me.

I don't think anybody that would've tried to help me then would've changed my life.

You know, I probably wouldn't have took it anyway, you know?

'Cause somebody offering you help on the streets, hey, that could mean plenty of things, you know?

How much integrity can you lose?

How much are you willing to give?

I made a couple of promises to myself and one of the main promises I made was I'm not gonna allow no one to hurt me regardless, you know?

And that even comes to me.

I'm not even gonna hurt myself.

And another promise I made was I'm not gonna expect of nobody what I'm not willing to do for my damn self.

Daddy, when we get a new house, right outside in our backyard, we are making a metal pole and painting it so I can climb up it.

- Like a fireman pole?

- No, dad, I need one of those poles so I can get muscles.

- Okay.

- That'll help me grow.

- That'll help you grow.

Eating vegetables will help you grow, too.

I feel kind of blessed in a weird way because I was homeless in this neighborhood, living in Golden Gate Park.

And it, especially out here in this part at nighttime when it's foggy, it's so mystical.

- Yep.

- Yeah, it's killing me.

- Yeah.

- It's killing me, really.

Like we live in a little, if I can show you, I mean our room is like to the first seat.

Like it's so... - Yeah.

- It's so small.

- Yeah.

- And it's 800 a month.

- Yeah.

- Right.

And we got bedbugs and roaches and we're trying to move up.

But his mom wants to be here because she's waiting on her dream job of working in the parks.

- [Marley] Look it, I see a play structure.

- [Sunbear] I see a big tarp.

Wonder what they're doin'.

(basketball players laughing) (children chattering) - Let's do this one first, okay?

Because it's more your size.

Go.

- Hey.

- Oh, hey.

- [Zallah] Hi.

- [Samson] How you doing?

- [Jacque] Come over here.

Harmony.

That's the infamous Harmony there.

That's my daughter Harmony.

Hey, baby.

Harmony is currently supposed to be in foster care and she ran away from that.

(Zallah laughing) (Zallah laughing) - I was 16 when I got pregnant with her.

Kind of just lived in the car.

After a year of that.

I just couldn't do it anymore, so I asked a relative to take care of Harmony and that was pretty much it.

I can't force anything on her.

If I was able to provide her with a home, once she sees her own space, then maybe she would want to come and be a part of this side of it.

(birds chirping) (vehicles beeping) (people chattering) - [Sylvester] Yeah.

- All those nights spent, you know, painting in SRO, dude, it's time to show 'em what you got.

Here comes Slick and Chris.

(Sylvester chuckles) I'm just saying, that's real, though.

- [Sylvester] Yeah.

I feel like, like, I feel like a art mercenary.

You're painting the Death Star.

- [Chris] I'm not workin' for rebellion, yo, I'm gonna paint the Death Star.

(laughs) - Like I said, I'm a Sith.

I am not a Jedi.

I have never been a Jedi.

I believe in using my powers for gain.

This is two dragons to represent Chinatown.

- [Onlooker] Dragons?

- [Sylvester] Yeah, that's this right here.

Hannah did all the, Hannah did all the... They're not Chinese dragons.

They're just dragons.

(people chattering) (Christina and Shirley speaking in Chinese) (upbeat percussive music) (Christina speaks in Chinese) (upbeat percussive music) (Christina and Shirley speak in Chinese) - Buenos días, Estercita.

- Buenos días.

Buenas, ¿cómo está?

- Bien, gracias, ¿y tú como amaneciste, mi'ja?

- Bien, gracias a Dios.

¿Cómo empezó su semana?

- Oh, pues más o menos.

- Dios te bendiga míja.

- Gracias, gracias.

En todo el tiempo que he vivido que ya es bastante, siempre aquí el manager o la mujer me han acusado de cosas malas que yo no he hecho.

De que dicen que yo, este, dejé, dejé ****** por el pasillo, por el hall way, pasillo, que se Por todo eso, entonces, nada más por mi condición, porque yo soy la más vieja que vive aquí.

- Ahora hizo usted la grabación como.

- Y ahora yo lo grabé, precisamente por eso.

- Esta ****.

Mire.

Esta es la tercera vez, Ester, hay mierda por el pasillo.

- Pero yo no soy.

- "Es la tercera vez", dice.

- Fíjate.

Pero eso lo hacen para joderme a - Sí, exacto.

-”Dice, Es esto intencional?"

-Eso es la mentalare Tal vez para que a usted la corran más rápido.

-”De veras?

Por qué demonios no la limpian?” Okey, ya está listo.

Venga, pues - Okey, gracias.

(shower water pattering) (Zallah crying) Do you wanna help mommy comb your hair?

Huh?

You wanna do it?

- Yeah, I do it.

(television blaring) - See?

Does that hurt?

It doesn't hurt, right?

(Zallah yells) - [Zallah] Mommy!

- [Jacque] You got it?

- Yeah.

I got it.

(Marley spits) - The spit is out.

- [Sunbear] I wish Amy was here.

She knows where all this kinda stuff is.

Okay, Paw Patrol bed.

(bottle thuds) So many nights I'll be sitting in bed in that little room and I'm like, oh my God, I just want to go take my blanket up to the park and sleep (Marley spits) Oh, dammit.

Yes, we're going to bed.

- [Marley] We aren't going to bed right now, dad.

- [Sunbear] Yes, it's bed time.

♪ Who's a good iron making machine ♪ - Come on, I'll tuck you in.

Up in there.

(kiss smacks) - Stop it, daddy.

- Sweet dreams, buddy.

(soft orchestral music) - [Tenant 4] Now when I moved in if it was the way it is now, as far as renting and all of that, I wouldn't have been able to move in because I don't make enough money.

(soft orchestral music continues) - [Tenant 5] The rich people, they come down here and treat this place like trash.

And it's not trash.

The people who live down here, this is a home to them.

- [Tenant 8] We have a lot of elderly people.

We have a lot of disabled people.

If the elevators were down, we would have to help all the people who couldn't walk the stairs.

That's why I loved that building because we had caring people in there.

(people chattering) - These are some of my skateboards.

Hopefully one of 'em sell.

I don't think so.

(chuckles) Hopefully.

Who knows?

(chuckles) I'm looking around like I want to get me some food.

- Yeah, well there's some upstairs.

- Yeah, what kind- - This is my co-worker Nicholas, he's an artist as well.

We were on the bus together, too and we saw you.

- Hey Nicholas, how's it going?

Nice to meet you.

- Did you do the skateboards?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Those decks are sick.

- Oh, right on.

Yeah, yeah.

- Do you just, like, paint straight onto it or, 'cause it looked like a gloss.

- Yeah, what I do is I like sand all the stuff off, then I paint on top of it, then I cover it with resin.

We're gonna have a show next month, actually, on the fourth.

October 4th at the SF Skate Club - Where's that?

- Oh on Divis.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I got a show going up there.

(cars passing) (people chattering) (ambulance siren blaring) - [News Reporter] A San Francisco man's behind bars accused of killing a man with his fists.

38 year old Sylvester Guard is charged with voluntary manslaughter.

Police say he beat a 66 year old man to death in the Tenderloin neighborhood Sunday afternoon.

- I am Sylvester Guard's public defender.

He got into an argument, a physical altercation with his neighbor, Mr.

Montgomery, who attacked him at his home.

Mr.

Montgomery was intoxicated.

He was very drunk and he started the fight with Sylvester and Sylvester was defending himself.

Mr.

Guard, I am going to order you to be detained in your home.

You are not to leave without the express permission of the Sheriff's Department.

So don't leave your apartment, don't leave your place for any reason whatsoever without the express permission of the Sheriff's Department.

(gavel pounding) - That's where we're at right now.

In a situation like this, typically where someone is out of custody and then facing, you know, voluntary manslaughter charges, I wouldn't rush it, right?

- Yeah.

- But the only reason I feel like we have to is because I don't want you feel ing like you're trapped at home all the time, right?

- When I get out my room, I see the area everything happened every day.

Like, even though I feel that what he did to me was wrong, I still feel like I wanted an alternative.

I, you know, it's like anything but that, man, you know?

That's, you know, like, that's my neighbor.

That was, he's a guy that's from my neighborhood that survived everything, you know?

If you live in the Tenderloin and you're over 30, you came a long way.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh, man.

(children shouting) - It kind of bothers me that the jail is right next to my kid's school I don't know.

I don't like it.

(chuckles) Field trip reminder?

- And Daddy, I think I need to get snacks today.

- Okay.

We'll take care of this when we get home, okay?

Can I have a hug?

Can I have a hug?

(Sunbear grunts) Careful.

(kiss smacks) You know daddy's leaving tonight for a month, right?

- Mm-hm.

- Yep, I'm sorry, buddy.

When I come back, I'll have- - A brand new car?

- No, not brand new.

- A Pontiac?

- I wish.

Bedbug, bedbug.

- And also, bedbug.

- Okay, you gonna put your jacket on or put it in the backpack?

- [Marley] Put it in the backpack.

- Okay, here.

(birds chirping) - The big packet.

The one that says section eight on it.

He doesn't, he has his expired driver's license.

- [Caseworker] Okay, is he gonna renew it or- - Yeah, we're gonna- - Okay, can I make a copy of his expired... - Not sure.

- Did you bring it out of the car?

- [Caseworker] Because it still remains with the same number, it's just- - Okay, yeah.

You're gonna have to go to the car and get it.

- No.

I only have it on the phone.

- Do you have your wallet in the car?

- No.

- Why do you not have your wallet?

- It's not in the car.

I have the wallet, but the ID is not in the car.

It's in my other, in my pocket.

- No worries, you can produce it later.

- Well, I have the picture.

- I can't- - She needs to make a copy of it for the file.

- Oh.

You read this list?

(people chattering) (Christina speaking in Chinese) (Zallah babbling) - Mommy's putting up pictures of your sister, baby.

(Zallah babbling) Yes, pictures for your sister.

Hey, Jacques.

I'm up here putting these flyers up of your niece.

The guy got her out here selling drugs and the police don't think that that's enough to arrest him, so I'm gonna just keep bothering him until he stops.

Not very much longer because the baby is gettin' antsy and I just wanted to hit the spot where this dude might be at.

He already promised that he wouldn't be dealing with Harmony no more after he pushed her out the car the last time but I said I'm not, you know, I'm not taking no chances on you so I went and filed a statutory rape charge.

You know, I did a reverse search on his phone number and I got his real name, his date of birth and his last known address, so I gave it to the police and didn't seem like they really gave a **** so I said **** it, I'll just do it myself, like, like I've been doing it myself thus far, so.

All right, Jacques.

You know your nephew's birthday party tomorrow.

You gonna come?

Bring him a Thomas the Train toy?

Fairyland.

- Esther, ¿a qué edad empezaste a escribir canciones?

- Bueno, mira, yo empecé a escribir mis versos ahí todos malhechos porque no sabía cómo hacerlos, pero no más que rimaran porque yo tenía un esposo alcohólico y pasaba mucho tiempo sola con mis hijos, este, mientras él se iba de parrandas y todo eso.

Entonces, como que la misma soledad o la nostalgia, o sea de que yo deseaba que me amaran a mí, este, ya supe de la asociación de compositores de Jalisco, Guadalajara.

Y pues empecé a ir y ahí ya me enseñaron realmente cómo hacer los versos y las canc ♪ Él está aquí y solitario ♪ ♪ Nada y nada sin cesar ♪ ♪ En las profundas aguas ♪ ♪ De un turbulento mar ♪ ♪ Sobreviviendo tormentas ♪ ♪ Maremotos y huracanes ♪ ♪ Nada de un lado a otro ♪ ♪ Desafiando tempestades ♪ (audience applauding) - [Lupita] Muchas gracias.

- There's never literally any children in this park.

Like, when I was a kid, this is the park we used to play in.

They used to have this big giant metal, like, airplane and they removed it 'cause they said it was full of lead, so, maybe I have lead poisoning, I don't know.

(Zallah laughing) Be careful, Zallah.

Oh my God, that freaks me out how a kid that's small can just climb up all that stuff without the fear of falling down.

(Zallah laughing) So my dad went to prison when my mom was pregnant with me.

And then my mom passed away when I was five.

(soft emotional music) Stayed in foster care for a while, but I don't think people really had my best interest at heart.

Harmony's life is becoming a replica of mine.

(soft emotional music continues) I felt like I was living in hell walking around with demons or something, and I don't want her to have to go through any of that, but she is.

It's just, it's stupid.

It's like nothing changes.

Like the system failed me, they're failing her even more, and there's nothing that I can do about it except wait.

(children laughing) You need some help?

I know you got it, but, I know you a strong woman and all.

- Thank you, thank you.

- No worries.

- [Friend 4] Take your time.

(people chattering) - [Sylvester] Beauty before age.

(chuckles) (people chattering) - [Prosecutor] Your Honor, at the outset, my office selected to file at least voluntary manslaughter.

But I also want to point out that there is a strong argument here, if not more than sufficient evidence on an implied malice theory of murder, 15 years to life.

- [Abigail] Your Honor, the witness was very clear about several different things that show that Mr.

Guard was acting in self-defense.

My client's actions after the fight are indicative that he did not know that the act was dangerous to human life.

He doesn't continue to hit Mr.

Montgomery when he's down.

He rendered aid.

- [Judge] I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation of the evidence.

I don't need to find that the defendant had any ill will or hatred towards Mr.

Montgomery to make a finding of implied malice.

I find that the people have shown that Mr.

Guard knew his actions were dangerous to human life, therefore I find that the people have met their burden of producing sufficient evidence for the charge of second degree murder.

(police sirens blare in the distance) Like some guy gets drunk, sloppy drunk and then sock my *** and he dies and it's like I'm stuck holding his ****** up world.

And now my world is ****** up and everything good I was working for is just gone.

You know, like I can't, after this, I can't get a job, like a good job.

All they gotta do is Google my name and my mugshot pops up.

This isn't my addiction, this was his addiction, you know?

And then, you know, everybody's indifferent about him, you know, and it's just like, that hurts my ****** heart 'cause he's still a person, you know?

Maybe that's why he acted out because everybody was indifferent towards him, you know what I mean?

Maybe he was, you know, alone.

What am I gonna do after this?

What am I gonna do, you know?

It's like... Like me going back to work that's, (scoffs) I'd be lucky if I could work in a warehouse after this.

I'd be lucky if I could shovel **** after this.

¿Y qué tiene que sea domingo?

¿Qué importa que sea domingo?

Tú tiendes tu cama y todos tiendan sus camas.

Pues hice una mala cosa porque yo me vine y dejé a mi marido, el papá de mis hijos allá, dejé a mis hijos que, y el niño más chico tenía 14.

Entonces, yo cuando vivía en Nay fue que conocí al hombre con quien me vine y dije, guau, esto es lo que esperaba para poder ir a Estados Unidos para que me vean de los ojos.

Entonces mi hijo me llamó y me dijo, ¿Sabes qué?

Este, no quiero que vuelvas a ha Para mí, estás muerta y vete mucho a la... Lo sentí muchísimo, lloré.

Porque eso de estar leyendo con a veces los dedos como que no te dicen la verdad.

(soft ethereal music) - [Tenant 9] There's a lot of shame connected to like living in a SRO.

SROs are seen as kind of like a, it's just a temporary state for you to get your, you know, get your foot on the ground and then you leave.

And then what happens when people don't leave?

- [Tenant 10] I would've liked to move out yesterday, but considering money is the issue, it's gonna be a little while before that happens.

(Tenant speaks in Chinese) (soft music) - [Tenant 11] No matter where I go, housing is cheaper, but minimum wage is lower, so it's still the same ratio.

- [Tenant 12] This is not an ordinary building and saying that it's just a building that houses people, but for us it's more than that.

It houses all our dreams and all our ancestor's dreams and their ancestor's dreams.

(soft music continues) - I feel extra pressure with everything at this point.

- I feel extra pressure with everything at this point.

If I cut my hair a certain way, I feel it could like sway the tide of my case.

If I wear a certain pair of shoes, it sway the tide of my case.

it sway the tide of my case.

It's all I probably can focus on because it's kind of like everything I do at this point is a swan song.

This could be the last thing I do as a free man.

It really messes with your perspective because- (Tenant yelling) Hey, be quiet!

(Tenant yelling in the hallway) I'm trying to concentrate, man.

Like, that **** with her is all ****** day.

- [Interviewer] Yeah, I know.

- Like, I mean all day of the hours and she like, oh my god.

(grunts) - [Interviewer] I think if we respond, it just makes it worse, right?

Because she- - No, no, no.

Like she gets quiet once you get pissed off, you know, and that's a Tenderloin thing right there.

But yeah, you know what I mean?

Like, this is one of those things that I have to deal with 'cause I'm on ******* house arrest, you know?

It's like I'm sitting, or surrounded by all these demons and it's like, you're gonna take me first out of the meat market and then you're gonna put me in the frying pan, in the skillet, now you're throwing me in the fire.

And it's like, wait, but how the hell does this supposed to help anything?

If you would've dealt with your ******* problem from the gate, we wouldn't even be here.

If you would've dealt with the guy that just socked people walking by, we wouldn't be here.

We have ****** Mickey Mouse next door.

- [Interviewer] Yeah.

I'm sorry, man.

(people chattering) (Shirley humming) (Christina and citizen speak in Chinese) (Shirley speaks in Chinese) (Christina speaks in Chinese) (Christina speaks in Chinese) (cars passing) (wheels scraping) (dog barks in the distance) (Shirley speaks in Chinese) (cars passing) - [Sunbear] All the way, to the right.

- [Sunbear] All the way, to the right.

(Marley laughs) (Sunbear laughs) - Bathtub.

Yeah!

(Marley laughing) Oh, yes.

- [Sunbear] What do you think, Fire?

Come here.

Let's go see our room.

- I already saw our room.

- [Sunbear] Let's go look at it together.

I yell, "Go to your room!"

- Whoa.

Now we can kinda spy on people.

(Sunbear laughs) - This will be Amy's room.

Awesome.

- There's this lightsaber.

There's this lightsaber.

So whenever I need a lightsaber (lightsaber clicking) (Zallah laughs) - Your feet will be that big one day.

Our whole apartment at first was this size, so maybe that may be why I sleep everywhere in this house because I'm still not used to, you know, not being confined to one tiny little space.

He doesn't understand that, but I know that that's what it is.

I don't like being in one tiny little space for too long so I sleep in random different rooms in the house.

So my daughter is supposed to be here during the week to go to school, but every now and then, maybe she loses focus, I don't know, and she'll just take off, so, you know.

She stole a car a couple of weeks ago and didn't show up to her court date so that's the biggest thing that I'm worried about right now is because she's not been complying with the rules of this house and you know, I had to give them a report of what she's been doing and that only made it worse.

All those years that passed by, those six years, all it did was get worse and worse and worse.

She fell deeper into, you know, the trap of being out in the street, so that fast lifestyle and all of that.

I don't think they take that stuff into account.

(ambulance sirens in the distance) (people chattering) (birds chirping) - Eh, it's been all right.

It's been all right.

It's just that this time I'm really, really, really stuck in the house.

You know, the way the world is right now, it's like everybody just only walked two months in my shoes, you know?

So it's like I know where everybody's at kind of right now mentally.

Due to the coronavirus, everything is legally backed up.

Anita called me and she made a deal for me.

She got a deal, like I'm agreeing to take the deal, which is, you know, like to take a felony assault deal.

I'm willing to take a chance on a year of probation and just having it put under the table than fighting it two years just to, like, have my name clear.

You know, having his family go through all this.

It's like, I'd just rather take like the easy way out and just be done with it.

It's like, we believe that there's these ideal outcomes, but that's all they are is ideals.
