FRESNO, CA -- California gubernatorial candidate Neel Kashkari says he recently spent a week living as a homeless person on the streets of Fresno. He chronicled his experiences in a film called "Is California back?"

Kashkari says he started with $40, and the goal of landing a job. The multimillionaire says he was trying to highlight the problem of poverty in California and the everyday struggles people face -- such as finding something to eat, or a warm place to sleep.

You can watch the full video of Kashkari's homeless project in Fresno at his campaign website (or watch the video below).
