A woman’s voice narrates the scene, recounting the time police officers threw away her mother’s ashes. This isn’t a scene from a Sundance documentary, this is the work of Cal Poly Pomona students. Manshaan Singh, first-year environmental biology student, and Kanwar Bir Singh, fourth-year mechanical engineer student decided to lend their passion for storytelling and create a short documentary for Campus MovieFest titled, “Trash or Treasure: Humanizing the Homeless.” “Basically, we made a documentary on the lives of the homeless, and how people perceive them and who they really are,” Kanwar Bir Singh said. “We’re trying to break the stereotypes and show that the homeless are just one of us.”
