1. “Morales-Botero not only brings the
Faces of the homeless to light on
film as he spends time on the streets
of the city, but he imprints their stories
on the hearts and the minds of the
Viewers.The stories of the homeless
resonate into the tale of “every man”, as he
introduces homeless citizens who could be our
parents, our children, and even our own
selves.” By Pamela Ruben
3. TAKE ME HOME
Ayden playfully wanders the park like any other 6-year-old kid but as the
day ceases and the weariness increases,Ayden unlike others of his innocent
age, had no home but that park. He, along with his family was displaced
from his house. That's how Fabian Morales Botero, a Colombian filmmaker
found him and was dumbstruckby his story. Perhaps allured by Ayden's vivid
personality and his sweetness despite his circumstances, Fabian was moved
beyond his tears, and to action.
“Take me home” explores the lives of several homeless whose stories will
not only belie our prejudices but will bring us closer to their reality than we
can imagine. “Take me home” drives light on a huge problem and delivers a
big blow of human hope.
4. This documentary was started by a simple idea; a single man’s passion to
use his art to raise awareness and its now heading a revolution around the
nation. Fabian Morales-Botero (Director), Beth Davalos (social worker
featured on “60 mins”),Arielle Metzger (16 year old girl featured on several
TV shows as a homeless kid) and many more have joined forces, challenging
society to come together and be aware of the new faces of homelessness.
Several Networks have praised Fabian Morales-Botero, “as the first Latin-
American director to bring us a realistic approach that is often ignored by
our American society; becoming one of the first Latino directors to
document American indigence in the United States.”

8. “Spending more time with them, I felt more fully alive---perhaps the way
our ancestors felt, nomadically moving from place to place, yet, with
supportive companions, always. But, above all, I saw society at large
clinging to the tired excuse---'only human'---intentionally shielded from
that which we once knew, instinctively---that kindness and caring is 'only
humane'; it was with them that I felt safe, it was by them that I was shown
the greatest love I have yet to feel, it was with them that I became aware.”
Fabian Morales-Botero
9. Español:
Ganador de el Premio a “MejorTrabajo Humanitario” por el Ola Film Fest2013, de el Director
Colombiano FamorBotero. Take Me Home estudia la temática de la indigencia Americana,
labor la cual nombro a el director como uno de los primeros cineastas Latinos en
documentar la indigencia American en Los Estados Unidos.
--Ayden deambula por el parque como cualquier otro niño de 6 años pero cuando llega la
tarde y el cansancio aumenta, Ayden, a diferencia de la mayoría de los niños, no tiene
hogar. Él, junto a su familia fue desplazado de su casa. Así fue como Ayden se convirtió en
uno de los protagonistas de esta historia. La historia de Ayden sensibilizó a el Director de
Take Me Home, talvez por su vívida personalidad, sus ingeniosos comentarios o por el
hecho de que tiene tan solo seis años y no debería estar pasando estas adversidades en las
calles de los Estados Unidos.
TakeMe Home explora la vida de algunas personas que viven en la calle, y cuyas historias no sólo
confrontarán nuestros prejuicios sino que nos permitirá acercarnos e identificarnos como
nunca lo hubiéramos imaginado. Take Me Home saca a la luz un vasto problema y trae
consigo un soplo de esperanza a nuestra sociedad.—
Este Documental comenzó con una simple idea, un hombre quiso utilizar su arte para darle
voz y luz a las nuevas caras de la indigencia En Los Estados Unidos de una manera sensible y
humana, fue así que el Director junto a BethDavolos (trabajadora social entrevistada por 60
min., Discovery Channel y ABC) al el lado de varios niños desamparados y varios adultos
indigentes compartieron por un periodo de dos anos un jornada que por siempre unió sus
vidas y ahora los lleva por un camino de concientización por todos los Estados Unidos,
siendo un latino el que comenzó esta labor.
