Come out and support the Wood Street Community for a special work-in-progress screening and fundraiser for the documentary Wood Street — a gripping film that follows members of Oakland’s largest homeless encampment as they fight the city and state against eviction from their long-term community.

This intimate film centers on John and LaMonté—two unhoused men turned community leaders—who organize their neighbors in the face of displacement, addiction, and a failing social system. Their story is a powerful testament to resilience, solidarity, and the right to remain.

Directed by award-winning journalist Caron Creighton, Wood Street is currently in post-production and has received support from SFFILM, the Sundance Institute, Brown Girls Doc Mafia, Black Public Media, Bay Area Video Coalition and the Berkeley Film Foundation.

We will show some scenes from the work-in-progress film, with the director and members of the Wood Street Commons present for a panel discussion after the screening.
