Our narrator would be one of the residents. It would be someone who is less educated and sounds that way, swearing a lot and using a lot of colloquial language (poor grammar, “hey, man,” etc.). It should be a black male in his 30’s or 40’s with more of a “street voice” – heavier, raspier, like he’s lived a tough life. The resident would have found housing and would be looking back on the whole story after it happened, several months after finding housing. At first, he would be speaking like he is recalling what happened, and at the end, it would show him where he is now in his new residence.

He would start by introducing what happened in his own words (instead of just reading that description on the screen).  While scenes of the amtrak station flash on the screen.  Then he would almost be sitting back listening to his fellow residents and their opinions on what was happening to them at the time.  When the second scene starts our narrator intorduces the Amtrak relations officer stating: “This dude, ain’t know what happen, he thinks just cuz he’s got a degree he better than us.”  Our narrator then listens to what the man says.  When the man pauses our narrator interjects comments such as, “that’s bs.” “he wasn’t there.” “I’d like to see him live there for 15 years.” When the other residents are speaking, he could introduce them by saying what happened to them: “Now Mike here, he never did get himself a place to live, he’s livin’ in a **** shelter now.”
