Caged Men: Tales from Chicago's SRO Hotels Synopsis
Caged. Invisible. Shamed. Trapped. These words mark the tenants, clerks and even the owners of Chicago's last remaining Singe Room Occupancy (SRO) hotels. These small spaces are home for many at the bottom of Chicago's housing ladder. Cloaked in darkness and secrecy, these hotels are often maligned as drug dens and havens for prostitution but the people who live, work and own these hotels have never fully shared their stories. Caged Men is a feature-length documentary which examines the disquieting stories of near-homeless Americans living on the margins and their invisibility in a largely indifferent and, at times, hostile community. It attempts to lend a voice to SRO residents, clerks, owners and to the hotels themselves.
Caged Men: Tales from Chicago's SRO Hotels (2017) is a documentary film directed by Aaron Shipp, released on December 30, 2017 with a runtime of 1h 24m. It stars Roark Moody, Wayne Cohen, Darryl Schlin and Kevin Trainor.
