Toms River Library to Screen Documentary on Homeless Evictions

October 15, 2018

TOMS RIVER – The Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library will screen the documentary, “Destiny’s Bridge: A Home for the Homeless” in Mancini Hall 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29.

This documentary tells the story of a homeless minister who stands up to a New Jersey town that is evicting him along with 80 other people living in the woods. With the town closing in and eviction at their doorstep, the innovative homesteaders set out to create their own self-sustained tiny house community called Destiny’s Bridge.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker, Jack Ballo.

This program is sponsored by the OCL Cultural Awareness Team.

Registration is required for this free event. To register, call the branch at 732-349-6200 or visit theoceancountylibrary.org/events.
