Description
Summary:Homelessness is an emerging socio-sanitary problem principally related to the development of mental pathologies and various addictions. The film The Soloist, directed by Joe Wright, represents a very useful resource to understand this issue since it reveals the real case of a musician who suffers from schizophrenia and who is homeless, Mr. Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Junior. At the same time, the film allows to analyze the circumstances that led him to this situation and the factors involved in the social inclusion process. Hence, the use of this film as a pedagogical resource for the training of students and professionals is defended.
