Revisiting The Life Of Frank Sinatra – Living A Life Of Homelessness

from Point of Inquiry

In 1997 Jim produced and directed a short documentary called "A Day in the Life of Frank Sinatra" that was an exploration of what it was like to be a homeless man with a famous name. Twenty three years later, Frank Sinatra is recently off the streets, lives in a government-funded camper in Los Angeles, and is trying to live a normal life. In this episode, Jim sits down with Frank and asks him about being a cab driver, a one-time contestant on the "Gong Show", about homelessness in Los Angeles for the last 28 years, the troubles and lasting damage addiction can cause, how Frank believes that no one is immune to turning to drugs, and his hopes for the future. This episode of Point of Inquiry does contain explicit language.
