InhuMAINE
One city. Nineteen months. The human stories behind Maine’s homelessness and mental health crisis — told by the people living it.
About the film
A systemic breakdown, seen up close.
Filmed over 19 months in Bangor, InhuMAINE follows people navigating homelessness, addiction, and a strained behavioral health system — and the neighbors, clinicians, and advocates working toward solutions.
It is not a film about homelessness, but about a crisis of humanity. Bangor becomes a lens for communities across America.
