The Challenger Documentary

Still from the 30-minute documentary film about The Challenger Newspaper to premiere at SXSW Film Festival this month.

Hello, again dear Challengers.  There is a lot to be excited about this month of March.  This coming Saturday will be the World Premiere of a feature documentary film about The Challenger Newspaper held at the Marchesa Hall & Theatre, as part of the SXSW Film Festival in Austin Texas. Yee-Haw!

The Challenger Newspaper is now also excited to share that our paper is now an official member of the International Network of Street Papers!  There is a lot happening for us as we move forward in our efforts to bring attention to homelessness in Austin, and as usual there is a lot happening on the streets.  Luckily we bring you the best of local street news from the people who live it each and every month.

Be sure to check out this month’s feature article, Hollywood, Madison Ave, Homelessness by Christopher, and pick up a full copy of this month’s paper digitally below, or out on the street anywhere you see our friendly local distributors.  Thanks as always for your support!
