Homelessness in Venice, the Science of Generosity and Friday Film

Last night in Venice, community members gathered at a town hall meeting to discuss the death of Brendan Glenn, an unarmed homeless man who was shot and killed by police near the boardwalk Tuesday night. We catch up on the tensions in the neighborhood.

We start with a look at tensions over homelessness in Venice, three days after an unarmed transient was shot by police there. Then, the story of a man whose generosity became pathological gives a window into the science of giving. And finally, in our Friday film roundup, it’s all about the summer blockbusters.
