A trailer for a new documentary film from director Thomas Wirthensohn exploring the issue of homelessness in New York City, soundtracked by Mumford & Sons, can be seen below.
“Thomas Wirthensohn made a film we love, ‘Homme Less’,” the band’s Winston Marshall explains on their official website. “It follows a close neighbour of mine at the time, Mark, a neighbour I never met, but inevitably we’d have brushed shoulders several times. Mark is one of the many men that make New York what it is, and Thomas’ film is a perfect portrait of the beast that the city is.”
“He kindly used his footage and put it against our song ‘Tompkins Square Park’, also the neighbourhood in which Mark and I lived.”
The track featured in the video for Homme Less is Mumford & Sons’ new single ‘Tompkins Square Park‘, taken from their third album ‘Wilder Mind‘.
