Vijaykumar Mirchandani’s “Where The Streets Have No Name” is an emotional journey and redemptive story seen through the eyes of one man who has been working tirelessly for decades trying to help alleviate youth homelessness in Cairns, Australia.

The social issue is not limited to one city or one nation. It is a world-wide problem. In the U.S., it has reached epidemic proportions and is reported to have surpassed 550,000 according to the 2016 report by Social Solutions. More frightening, the report estimates that 380,000 teens (under 18) have experienced a homeless situation of 1 week or more.

“Where The Streets Have No Name” is an intimate and unforgettable journey that reveals a truth which most people choose to be oblivious of, turning a blind eye to those homeless teens that cross their paths. 

At the core of the film’s narrative story is Dr. Harald Falge, a German expatriate who migrated to Cairns for a better life, but adopted the issues as his own. He has been working for 20+ years on the issue of homelessness in Cairns with his organization Street Level Youth Care.
