Event Description
Event type: All AgesThe worsening crisis for unhoused people has created daunting challenges for communities all over in Ontario. In exploring these challenges, the team behind this documentary sought out the perspectives of people experiencing homelessness along with people trying new approaches to the situation. Directed by Will Bowes and produced by Linda Schulyer (an icon of Canadian television: co-creator and longtime producer for the teen-TV franchise whose history is explored at KCFF this year in DEGRASSI: WHATEVER IT TAKES) this engaging look at efforts to help and heal in Cobourg and Peterborough succeeds at introducing fresh ways of approaching problems that may feel intractable. This screening includes an extended discussion that connects ideas and initiatives in the film with present realities in this community, too.
