PEOPLE WHO CARE
In 2003, after reorganizing our corporate archives in Manhattan, HAI stumbled across a dusty 16 mm film. “People Who Care” is a rare film that surveys a full gamut of services HAI offered in 1975 and continues to offer to New York’s most vulnerable residents. The film features singer Clara Walker performing at Bird S. Coler Hospital, youth attending a performance of Miguel Pinero’s “Short Eyes,” singer Dee Dee Bridgewater and Grady Tate at Greenhaven State Prison as well as the laudatory endorsement of former Manhattan Borough President, Percy Sutton.

You can view the full 30 minute HAI documentary “People Who Care” covering the first decade of HAI’s work or an 8 minute excerpt of highlights from the film.
