The documentary “The Razor’s Edge” opens in the woods of northern Michigan, where people are living in tents beneath a thick blanket of snow. A lone winter hat dangles from a branch; plastic bags and scattered trash mark the spaces between their fragile shelters. They tell us this place is a last resort.

For many people in Michigan and across the nation, living without stable housing is a daily reality. Keith Famie’s “The Razor’s Edge” gives us an unfiltered glimpse into that world, capturing the complexity of life without a stable home, and the harsh connection between poverty and food insecurity.

Famie’s Emmy-nominated documentary explores how real change can happen, and underscores why humanizing the problem matters so much. On the heels of his Emmy nomination, Famie joined The Metro to discuss the people he’s met, the misconceptions he’s challenged, and the lives impacted by this film.
