Leave it to the Germans to take something fun, like going to the movies, and make it miserable.
With Frozen Cinema, the German-based publication Fiftyfifty recently tricked moviegoers into experiencing what it’s like to be homeless, turning on the air conditioning and freezing out the audience so they could feel what it’s like to be on the street. What a treat for everyone!

Clearly, these people just wanted to sit down, relax, and enjoy the German premiere of Playing for Keeps.
If Fiftyfifty really wanted to teach the audience what it’s like to be homeless, shouldn’t they just have broken all of the moviegoers’ leases and mortgages before sending them home?
The folks I really feel bad for are the homeless people who sneaked into the movie, thinking they’d be able to seek some refuge from the outside.
Shoulda closed the restrooms and required a snack bar purchase for use.
well, that was a novel teaching approach!
