5KStreets of Plenty: Directed by Alex Kleider, Corey Ogilvie. With Misha Kleider, Gregor Robertson, Gabor Maté, Thomas Kerr. With the 2010 Olympics approaching, will the world get to know Vancouver’s darkest secret? ‘Streets of Plenty’ chronicles one man’s perilous journey to live in Vancouver’s downtown east side ghetto. The rules of this twisted social experiment? Starting with only a pair of underwear, he must survive the harsh winter streets for 31 days. He has no money, no friends, no family, and most importantly, no home. He must navigate the institutions, policies and services alongside the thousands of people that call Vancouver’s streets home.
“Donu0026#39;t support this film. Itu0026#39;s saddening to see someone who just does not get itu0026#39; try to act as though living with mental illness, and homelessness and poverty, could be easy. Zero empathy, or understanding from this film. Itu0026#39;s truly sad.”
