See below for two video clips from the soon-to-be released move, The Soloist, about the true-life friendship between Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez and Nathaniel Ayers, a mentally ill homeless musician he meets on the streets of Skid Row. The book is both inspirational and true-to-life, describing the gradual trust that builds between the two men, culminating in Ayers finding housing and support in the Lamp Community, a provider of immediate housing and lifelong supportive services in Los Angeles.
Buy the book from Amazon.
Read the LA Times series by Steve Lopez that inspired the Soloist.
