Streets Of Plenty - 2 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

kids a fuckin prick I cant watch this anymore, surprised I got so far

[FussbettSanitario]

Faking a mental illness, lying about needing welfare, faking dirty clothes, fake being crippled... So basically the premise of the doc is that "if you're a con man, you can cheat the system?" Revolutionary!

this guys a fucking faggot wow im actually shocked how fucking arrogant he is, if i see him im going to punch him in the face and spit on him

[MaxwellBergen]

The guy at 1:35 Is this biggest douchbag in the world and should be made to live homeless for the rest of his life without anyones help

If anyone out there wants to see a real documentary about real issues/ drug addiction etc.. look up Black Tar Heroin an award winning doc from the mid 90s about heroin addiction in San Francisco. Streets of Plenty is unengaging, self indulgent, narcissistic bullshit. Yes you can fuck the system and benefit from it dishonestly, wow you're a genius. Please please please make better films. Thanks. (Seth in the UK)

[shaun1982911]

@lizardshitfuck1 I agree I don't like his attitude at all, its makes me sick

[meltz911]

@FussbettSanitario What do you think 90% of the "homeless" do to get by? They lie.

[meltz911]

@lizardshitfuck1 So are most of the homeless, can't believe I fell for there shit this long.  Fuck em all.

[jordon666]

@lizardshitfuck1 gotta look alittle deep dude. The message is to solve homelessness you can just throw money at the problem

75,000 FIAT dollars not gold or real wealth. And who prints the money? The private Federal Reserve and who owns that yup you guessed it the same people who own Canada the ruling elite.
