At the Albany Landfill community, men and women lived together for a decade before their eviction. Bums' Paradise follows their lives during this transition, capturing their experiences before and one month after they were forced to leave. The film presents their perspectives on community and the art they created, offering a platform for the homeless to tell their own stories. It challenges conventional narratives about homelessness by focusing on the voices of those directly affected.
