Wednesday August 3rd - HOMELESSNESS DOCUMENTARY FEATURE

HIS NAME IS RAY, 83min., USA
Directed by Michael Del Monte
In his anticipated follow-up to "Transformer", which took home the Audience Award for Best Documentary at Hot Docs 2018, acclaimed director Michael Del Monte gives a human face to our growing homelessness and opioid crises. Ray once had everything. A job that he loved with the Coast Guard. The father to a family. But his heroin addiction took it all away. Now, the former sailor lives on the streets of Toronto with an entire population that seems to have just fallen through the cracks. With a remarkably compassionate and intimate lens, Del Monte follows Ray on his precarious journey to get off the streets and back on the water, where—in the ultimate achievement of the oblivion he craves—he could just sail away from it all.
