A short film about the strength and beauty of the human spirit
73-year-old Miguel Gutierrez is an activist, artist, survivor and longtime creative fixture of San Francisco’s Western Addition neighborhood. For decades, he’s designed costumes and sculptures made from trash and recycled items that he finds on the street.
The short documentary, My Neighbor, Miguel, is a celebration of a man who is a beloved cultural staple. It’s a story about resilience and also a reminder that we should treat our communities like Miguel treats his - by bringing something to the table and giving more than taking.
