How many times have you tried to get that message across... in those very words?

I found this on POV's website...

Takeover
by Pam Yates, Peter Kinoy
Premiere Date: August 10, 1992

We're dying in the streets - that should be against the law is the no-holds-barred attitude of the homeless men and women who are taking control of their lives and taking over empty houses in Pam Yates and Peter Kinoy's tough, effective film. Funded by Bruce Springsteen, "Takeover" was shot simultaneously in eight U.S. cities on May 1, 1990 as homeless people risked arrest occupying properties foreclosed by the Federal government. A stunning, hard-hitting and thought-provoking visual and verbal statement about the homeless and not-so-hapless in America. Ed Kaufman, The Hollywood Reporter

There's a 'Buy the film' link that takes you to a different film. :shrug: I searched Transit Media's website (http://www.transitmedia.net/searchtitle.php?letter=T), but it's not listed there... I guess it's no longer available for purchase?
