Documentary Trailer Concept (INPUT NEEDED)

Its a long story if you read the description on Exposure Room it will explain some of it in more detail. In short I am shooting a documentary, this video is the test (concept) for the trailer that will be shown thursday (at another movie premiere)...the reason it is not the actual trailer is because some of the required footage will not be shot until wednesday night...soooo....some of the footage in this video is just to fill space and give an idea. Please give me any and all suggestions and input. Thank you guys!

Also...
Be brutally honest because this will be played at the premiere of an independent film starring John Leguazamo (Spelling?) and I am sure the people there will have no problem doing the same. This is my debut into the public eye and I would like it to be a stellar one.

Overall, nice. A few suggestions: the white transitions stay up a bit too long, and you could use some cross cutting/parallel action during the talking head sequences (perhaps shots of homeless families?). Maybe that will be part of the second cut you spoke of... Good luck.
 
Yes i agree do some cross cutting, especially at the ending. The young lady seem to go on and on.
