STREETS OF PLENTY DOCUMENTARY


I posted this interesting documentary on my blog and have been getting a lot of feedback on it so I'm deciding to share it here too. This guy makes a documentary about homelessness in Vancouver and goes above and beyond anything I expected going into watching this. I always seen Vancouver as nice city but this guy really shows everyone the other side. He partakes in a month long mission of trying to survive as a homeless person and video records everything. Here's the description he gives him self via youtube:
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.

Check out the rest of it here.
