DOCUMENTARY UNCOVERS THE HARSH REALITIES OF LIVING ON SKID ROW - THE EPICENTER OF LOS ANGELES' HOMELESSNESS CRISIS
'Finding Mango: To Live and Die on Skid Row' Premieres Friday, June 5, on Disney+, Hulu and ABC News Live
Today, ABC News Live announced a new documentary, "Finding Mango: To Live and Die on Skid Row," detailing the harsh realities of living in the epicenter of Los Angeles' homeless crisis. The in-depth profile will premiere Friday, June 5, at 8 p.m. EDT on Disney+, Hulu and 24/7 streaming news channel ABC News Live. Watch the trailer HERE.
In 2020, 66,000 people were experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County, 5,000 of whom were living on Skid Row. That's when ABC News first met Mango, a charismatic, streetwise Floridian transplant living in a tent outside of Los Angeles Fire Station 9, while ABC News' cameras embedded with the station for a special airing across "Nightline" and ABC News Live's "Prime with Linsey Davis." Over the course of 6 years, ABC News cameras followed Mango. His passion for showing the world what it was really like for unhoused people to live on Skid Row was undeniable, and his presence was a stabilizing force in a chaotic environment. From helping neighbors and building community to assisting firefighters by managing traffic during emergencies, Mango became known on the streets as the unofficial mayor of Skid Row. Through his journey, the documentary uncovers the deep realities of living on Skid Row - its power dynamics, drug use, mental health struggles, death, and the urgent needs of one of L.A.'s most vulnerable communities.
ABC News Live is also available on The Roku Channel, YouTube, YouTube TV, Samsung TV Plus, Amazon, Pluto TV, TikTok, ABCNews.com, the ABC News and ABC News Live apps, and more.
