When hardships come in the way of life, it doesn't mean that music has to be put on the back burner. In fact, music just might be a beacon of hope. 'Homeless Karaoke,' a mini-documentary directed by Iris Ichishita, tells the story of the Karaoke Coffee Club, a unique venue that gives homeless people in downtown Los Angeles a place to let loose for a while. The short shows how the positivity and joy of a night of karaoke might eventually lead those with economic or mental instabilities off the streets and back on track.
