VIDEO: Homeless Man, Amos, Discovers the Westside

A Los Angeles filmmaker documenting the life of his friend, a homeless man living in a tent downtown, brought him to the Westside on Sunday it was described as "heaven on Earth," according to the Huffington Post.

In his latest video (Warning: mild profanity, marijuana use), Amos, who goes by the nickname "Chicago," stands on a scenic overlook and looks down on a neighborhood, pondering what it would be like to live in the hills west of the 405 Freeway.

He also visits the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades and is amazed by the aroma therapy of the flowers, peaceful setting and sounds of the birds chirping.

Filmmaker Kemal Cilengir, of West L.A. uploads footage of his times with Amos to a series called "Downstreet$" to the Youtube channel SiliconCheef, which focuses on homeless life in L.A.
