What does having a safe place to live have to do with brain health?

Having a stable place to live can help protect our health as we age by making it easier to get restful sleep, eat nutritious meals, manage health conditions, get care and feel less stressed. Housing instability can put all of these under pressure.

This Wednesday in Berkeley, filmmaker and Atlantic Fellow Luca Capponi brings us close to the human experience behind those conditions in his documentary Like Heaven Without God.

Shot entirely in a parking lot near the Berkeley Marina, the film follows five Berkeley residents living in a homeless RV community. Temporarily sheltered through a public program, they face the uncertainty of what comes next.

Capponi’s work explores migration, displacement, and belonging, telling stories from the margins with patience and care.
