Its founder, Dr. Glenn Toby directed and produced his first film, a documentary called S.T.O.P. Solutions To Overcoming Poverty that will screen midyear of 2016. Dr. Glenn “Sweety G” Toby’s personal experience of being homelessness compelled him to be an advocate for the silent victims of socio-economic communities throughout the United States and soon the world.
