Director/Producer: Elizabeth Lo
Description:
Each night in Silicon Valley, a public bus transforms into an unofficial shelter for the homeless. Hotel 22 is a short documentary by Elizabeth Lo that captures a single, dramatic night on the Line 22 bus route. The Line 22 is the only bus that runs twenty-four hours in Silicon Valley. During the day, it is a regular city bus. But by night, it transforms. Commonly referred to as "Hotel 22," the bus has become a mobile testament to the challenges of an increasingly unaffordable landscape. For over a decade, people have been using the overnight bus as an alternative to sleeping on the streets.
