We've formed an exciting partnership with the Media Arts Center, an innovative local organization that promotes expression and investigation of local issues through film.

We'll be teaming up to bring you great video content to accompany and supplement many of our stories. It'll provide an even deeper, more personal perspective on a lot of the issues we explore.

Our first installment of these videos comes from local videographer Michael Gonzales. He visited the intersection of Island Avenue and 17th Street, which we wrote about recently in a story about San Diego's tent cities.

In two captivating pieces, he's profiled the stories of two of the thousands of San Diego's homeless.
