For its 10th anniversary, Facebook commissioned Michael Marantz to tell a powerful story — one of a homeless man in Brazil whose greatest passion in life is writing poetry and dream is to publish a book. Living on the streets made it an impossible dream. However, a series of unimaginable events take place that transform the life of Raimundo Arruda Sobrinho dramatic ways. “The Conditioned” is an inspiring tale of the power of connection.
