east hastings vancouver documentary

You don’t get a real sense of the DES. Daaamn! A subject that cannot be looked at objectively, who is he to question and judge these people? Doesn’t that sound like something straight out of Charles Dickens as well? This is the equivalent of rolling around the streets in a wheelchair with fully functioning legs. If anything, it reminds me, after years of sobriety, why I quit. Native to the European province of Piedmont in Italy, Ruggero Romano is a documentary filmmaker, public speaker and radio show host based in Vancouver, where he hosts his film talk show/podcast "Room Tone The Radio Show" on COOP Radio 100.5FM. The Vancouver Film Festival does an amazing job of empowering the voices of filmmakers here in Vancouver. (Whatever they truly were?). a very good documentary. it was one of the most profound documantaries i ever saw on homeless - i studied law in college and i have a lot of work done on human rights and the extent to which these rights can be applied - and this documentary was amazing, yes he was funny in the beginning because he was showing the real life live experience - initially he was healthy and positive but if you didnt have ADHD you would have watched right down to the end of the documntary when he went on crack and heroin to show the sincerity of this documentary - amazing doc well done.

This site is terrable. Your often imitated but never duplicated site is a great gift to us all, thanks for all your great work! I can say all the things I want to about how negatively I feel about this guy and his documentary but that will not do anything. Thank you for your patience as we work towards bringing this back. The brother filming has gotten the short end of the stick. Brilliant. People who try to experiment with being homeless for a project or documentary are missing one thing. I have personally found weed to be incredibly addictive and have known MANY people who this is true for as well. You must be a TakingITGlobal member to post a comment. What is it that makes us good or evil? no. It's like warm golden honey flowing through your veins and all problems go away. 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 think I understand drugs more than you ever could, unless you are in recovery and sit at tables and talk to people who have and continue to battle crack and heroin along side alcohol. I'm sure he had much fun convincing him to jump off a boat in his undies or roll around in the mud with the armanies on.

like a dick…. He tries to "tackle" the issue of homelessness but the poor excuse of a film ends up being about him. none the less… i did love it because… well… im a grim geek. thanks. 3 years is a SMALL amount of time and it take some people years to progress into daily user. Who knows! Over ten years ago the city closed half of the Riverview mental hospital and this population exploded. I love the comments from the people who are proponents of this "documentary" when they say, "you have to watch it 'till the end". though i was able to work myself out of homelessness to a point of relative comfort and success while still on those drugs, i do understand how they contributed to my predicaments. Too many movies I tell ya. After the recession settled in, there was a definite increase in the number of faces on the streets. Sometimes its also fate. These people sleep on vents and under 97 blankets just to live through to winter, which eventually they cant continue to do. it was entertaining enough; i mean i didn't know anything about this part of vancouver and how rough it actually was. Also, these people have been through alot more even prior to being forced unto the streets, broken homes, job loss. I know now I have to do everything in my power to fight this.

Actions speak louder than words and he DID expose the plight of the homeless and addicted in Vancouver. I've spent lots of time in Vancouver, and East Vancouver is a very dangerous and depressing place. They slap on this "transformation" to sort of paint themselves in a better light, but they simply lack any insight or depth. I am happy that I didn't just take the bad review to chaulk watching this documentary. Anyhow, as others have said, it's crucial for people to watch this doc until the very end. he left (a true signature of a dick… no fretting though… the world is made of dicks, pussies and assholes… choose your poison). Hi, My father, a man who was raised in a loving home, went to university, was a architect/drafter and married a beautiful woman who had a sweet baby girl (me) then adopted me…became addicted to alcohol due to the stress of his job (competition) and then ended up sleeping under steps in downtown Calgary by the time I was 15…to make a long story short, he has been sober for 32 years as of January 9, 2011. I have selected to be notified of updates, so I u want to contact me post again. ps – you aren’t homeless when you can prance back home whenever you feel like it. LOVED IT!!!!! 4 stars. So all you haters out there that don't know what it is like to walk the streets of the DTES leave the saftey of your house and don't hide behind your computer screen go take a walk and get to know some amazing people.
