I didn’t recognize the landscape in the opening shot of “Street Pulse,” a new documentary on life on the street in Madison by Marc Kornblatt. Traffic speeds by on an overpass that could be anywhere, before the camera takes viewers below the bridge to a couple of people just waking up in what we quickly realize is a homeless encampment.
But it’s not long before we realize that this story of homeless people meeting life’s challenges is set right here in Madison.
