Cardboard (2013)
You see them everyday on street corners and off-ramps. People holding cardboard signs asking for spare change. Most of the time we look away, staring intently at the red light waiting for it to change. Other times we say 'sorry' and keep walking. Whether you give them money or not, have you ever stopped to ask their story? Cardboard is a documentary about the world of panhandling in Seattle. It tells the stories of those on the streets as well as the truth about scam artists. We often wonder about the story behind the sign. This is that story.

Reviews
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Blistering performances.
