Hailed as the first-ever, first-person immersion documentary about homelessness in film history, Blame Reagan is an eye-opening look into the hidden world of homelessness. Matthew lived on the streets of cities all along the west coast, for eighteen months, to create this film, risking his life and digging in the dirt to hand the world a gritty, disturbing but very real account of the suffering of a homeless disabled person living in the richest country in the world.

The filmmaker brings his camera to the Bowery, filming the homeless, interacting with them.
