Streets Of Plenty - 3 of 7 - Vancouver Homeless Doc

Support Corey's latest work, Occupy The Movie, here: ‪http://www.indiegogo.com/OccupyTheMovie‬



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.

Nominated for Best Feature Doc, Best Direction in a Feature Doc, and Best Sound Design at the 2011 Leo Awards.
Official Selection 2010 Oxford FIlm Festival
Official Selection 2009 Queens International Film Festival

@prismviolet i dont care about the rats...he stole someones blanket...a REAL homeless persons blanket.

guy probably went off to find some food and he comes back to no bed cos some rich boy wanted to make a little video.

It's just a fuckin rat, don't tart out over it.

, having been homeless myself to be completely honest the whole blanket stealing situation is actually the owners fault. i never left n e where without all of my belongings(bedding, shoes, backpack etc) because if its not stolen by one dude it will by the next so stop hatin on Misha for taking his bedding because obvy the guy didnt need it or else he would have taken it with him.trust me. and im not condoning stealing im just being honest

@guitarguy1751 Yes, i know. The point is that this guy doesnt really need to be there, he's doing it all for some fucked up social experience. He took the blankets from a dude that really fucking needed it. It's not rocket science man.

[raverbud]

[guitarguy1751]

you people have to realize, thats what its like on the streets. if your a homeless person and you see blankets, even if its someone elses, your gonna steal it so you can survive.
