Description
Glen Dunzweiler has been working to address homelessness in the United States since 2010, exploring complex questions about how society responds when individuals cannot—or choose not to—succeed within existing systems. Through his concept “The Moralists,” he examines the ethical dilemmas that arise when people take direct action to solve social problems that institutions struggle to address. Dunzweiler tells these stories across multiple platforms, including documentaries, narrative films, books, podcasts, and live storytelling. His work includes the feature documentary yHomeless? and books such as Things I've Learned from the Homeless and The Moralists, which challenge audiences to rethink responsibility, entrepreneurship, and social impact.
