Good luck with the final product! Some classmates and I are fulfilling a sociology project by doing a brief study of the village - your video is what we wish we had the time, capability, and resources to be doing!!
@mildenha14 Many thanks for your support! We'd love to see your final study/results on the Village from your sociology project. We are the Village archivists, so we try to keep a copy of all information about the Village and similar tent cities available for historical archives. Eventually we plan to have the whole archive placed in a database online so that students and other groups can access all the information. Definitely send us a copy of your study, if you're willing. Best of luck!
Stand and be Counted...It is time to write new laws. I opened a tent city on my land and we too had to shut it down or face arrest.
I have a dream,a Legal tent city. The Field of Dreams in Cranbrook B.C.
These people love each other, perhaps the rest of the world will open their hearts and see that simple dignities are the right of every man woman and child.
We can provide shelter and help transition people from despair to dignity.
Check out the trailer for our upcoming film "Doorways to Dignity"! The film spans a decade at Dignity Village, a tent city founded by homeless people in our nations spirit of bootstrap independence, a bold attempt to create a community to escape the cruelties of survival on the streets. Fed up with societys treatment of the homeless, six visionaries throw off the shackles of poverty and help each other reclaim their lives and homes.
this is a great idea. i love this. i want to see the final movie.
