On Shoulders Now is a powerful holiday
family story about one man’s memory of life
and resilience from beyond the grave. Vernon
is a homeless man from Kansas City who saw
the good and bad in his community and still
loved it even though community members
never saw him as anything more than a
homeless man without a job. After his recent
passing, Vernon haunts the present unable to
rest in peace until he shares his fondest
reflection on a Christmas past that reveals the
true meanings of the season: love, friendship
and family. Flashing back to our
undocumented, homeless and victims of the
street in our community. Vernon asks how can
Christmas be a season of caring, sharing and
holiday cheer when some citizens remain as
invisible as ghosts?
