Along with his other documentary, S.P.I.T.: Squeegee Punks in Traffic, The Street: A Film with the Homeless was the starting point a multi-year project that would eventually result in the web forum homelessnation.org.

In the process of shooting these two films, hundreds of Montreal’s homeless community shared their many, amazing stories with him. So many, that he was not able to fit them all into his films. He conceived homelessnation.org as a result, where these stories would not be lost.

In Street: A Film with the Homeless, Cross follows the lives of three homeless brothers in Montreal over the course of six years.
