STORIES FROM THE STREET, 30min., Canada
Directed by Andrea Ramolo
Filmed over the duration of a year, this documentary gives voice to a handful of currently or previously homeless Torontonians surviving the harsh realities of unaffordable housing. Within a tapestry of shared stories and experiences, the film also closely follows Brent, an older gentleman who is granted transitional shelter in a Tiny Tiny Home and eventually his very own apartment after living on the streets on and off his entire life.

Directed by Senon Davis
The funny thing about surviving cancer is that it's not really that fun. Yes, you get a second chance at life, and that's amazing. You're celebrated. You're congratulated. But once all of that goes away, you realize there is no going back to normal.
