According to the most recent census of street dwellers in Bogotá, public spaces in the city shelter about 9538 homeless people. These people are exposed to all kinds of violence and exclusion, and make part of a highly vulnerable group in a context where the State does not recognize their rights, and the large media and some social sectors look upon them with contempt and prejudice. In this sense, this document presents a summary of the documentary review that feeds a project on this issue developed by the seedbed Miedos Ocultos (Hidden Fears). This seedbed from the Technology in Graphic Communication program at Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios carries out formative research activities whose focus is the university’s area of institutional influence in southern Bogotá. Taking into account the importance of exploring alternative views in the face of a persistent problem such as that of people living on the streets, the study determined that from the graphic communication, the academy is called to serve from a perspective of solidarity and inclusion that contributes to eliminating the stigmas and prejudices suffered by this population, through innovative narratives in documentary filmmaking. Thus, we present the most relevant advances of this audiovisual project, which at this moment is in a preproduction stage.
