Overview
Set in a neon-lit Mexico City, Damn Hobo! tells the story of a homeless man's literal and figurative trip through the streets. When the sun goes down over the huge city, the darkness of night slowly transforms the man into a musical entity. This short film peeks into the experience of a rough sleeper and in doing so, challenges expectations through the establishment of music as the universal language.
