This video by freelance photojournalist David Peterson was originally produced for Drake University to document the sights and sounds of Reggie's Sleepout, a university-hosted event designed to educate the public about homelessness. It includes the voices of organizers and participants, as well as selections from songs played during the event to help raise awareness. In March 2001, Reggie Kelsey aged out of the foster care system, became homeless and was found dead in the Des Moines River two months later. Reggie's Sleepout was organized to create awareness of and provide support for more than 3,000 homeless youth in Polk County, Iowa. David Peterson has been a photojournalist since 1975, having worked at the Topeka Capital-Journal and the Des Moines Register. He currently owns his own freelance photography business, specializing in documentary, sports, corporate and travel photography. While at the Des Moines Register, Peterson won two Pulitzer Prizes. The first was in 1987 for Feature Photography when he documented Iowa's farm crisis. The second was in 1991 for Community Service.

Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 March 16, 2003) was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada. She was killed by a Caterpillar D9R armored bulldozer operated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a protest against the destruction of Palestinian homes by the IDF in the Gaza Strip. Rachel was an unarmed peace activist trying to prevent the demolition of the home of a Palestinian pharmacist, his wife, and three children. She believed that nonviolent direct action against the Israeli occupation would make Palestinians, and also Israelis and Americans, more secure. Rachel stood there to protect a home and family in Gaza because the United States and Israel rejected a UN proposal to send international human rights monitors there. International activists went instead. Rachel stood there protesting illegal home demolitions that the United States opposes on the record yet fails to stop -- destruction that we support with billions in annual military aid to Israel for bulldozers, Apache helicopters, F-16s, and more.
