$1:
An unprecedented look into the underworld of Vancouver’s downtown eastside ghetto, this 65 minute documentary follows one man’s 30 day experiment of joining the thousands of homeless, ill, and addicted, who survive the streets of Vancouver’s cold, wet December. He starts off with nothing but a pair of underwear. Where he ends up is a place he never knew existed, even though its a place he passed by every day. This is the perfect film for anyone who wants to see first hand what life is like on Vancouver’s streets, but doesn’t want to risk murder from gang violence, contracting a fatal or chronic disease, or a life-long addiction to crack or heroin.


I can't believe he did crack and heroine...

This is powerful stuff.Once I started watching I could not stop.Excellent video,and very disturbing.In my mind I can not equate this Canada with the one that I lived in for several years.This video may as well have been shot in another country.I have travelled through the Maritimes,Quebec,and Ontario.Never have I seen anything like this.Granted I am not hanging out in or looking for these types of neighborhoods,but my ignorance of thier existance is telling.

We spend $1,000,000 a day in that area (DTES), and this is the result. There's got to be a better way.
