SYNOPSIS:

‘The Ranch’ takes a glimpse into the lives of seven people on the Mornington Peninsula experiencing homelessness. With record levels of people sleeping rough, and nowhere to go, local community support services established crisis accommodation with no government funding or support. This documentary represents the hardship, the conditions, and the hearts of those who are doing their best to thrive in life, albeit with enormous challenges.
