THE UNCLAIMED tells the story of Eric Arseneaux, a homeless man dying of late-stage stomach cancer on the streets of LA. The film follows Eric’s last few months as he contemplates his impending death, and considers how - and if - to reconnect with his estranged family. Eric’s experience is tied to Los Angeles County’s annual “Ceremony of the Unclaimed Dead.” During this unique event, the remains of over 1,500 people - many of them homeless - are interred in a common grave. A small, public graveside ceremony is held to honor the dead. @nfmla #bmpcc6k #leicar #shortdocumentary #documentary
