This documentary is a much needed source of information for the residents of Vancouver. It's not compassionate to allow people to live on the streets, or warehoused in hotels, drug addicted and half alive. This documentary shows the compassionate approach, for those addicted to drugs and for those who live with the consequences of a drug addicted community, is to provide treatment and rehabilitation.
This documentary features homeless addicts, recovered addicts, police officers and victims of violent crimes, giving a full look at the situation in Vancouver's Downtown East Side.
The activists rating this documentary 1 star have a political agenda. They don't want what's best for those drug addicted (clearly because they're advocating for their addiction to be perpetuated) and don't want anyone questioning their narrative.
That's why this documentary is so powerful!

This is an incredibly insightful look into how unrealistic govt can be
There are other models worldwide to learn from and they do not include giving persons more drugs to solve the problem
Excellent line up of persons giving honest and helpful ways to improve the cities situation.
Everyone needs to view this to learn how far fetched the status quo manner of dealing with addiction is not helpful for those in the situation.
When we support with rehab those who have come thru the addiction process will be able to live lives that ate back on track Not happy to hear what a lead professional had to say about the situation.

This is a superlative documentary outlining the myriad causes of addiction and homelessness. It takes a very levelled, non-partisan approach to the crisis happening in Canada.
Not only that, the documentary interviews those with on-the-ground experience who hold *actual solutions*, instead of just continuously throwing money at the situation and *enabling* addicts to continue their addictions. Watch it!
My review requires about 179 more characters, even though I've given a succinct and targeted review without droning on and on. I hope my succinct review was helpful to you and that you'll approach this documentary with a willingness to learn something new.

This documentary touches on many aspects of the failed political policies being enacted at home and abroad by an unreasonable and damaging ideology sweeping throughout western civilization.
The work done by Aaron and his team is an integral part of our political discourse which offers the ground truth to the plethora of failed solutions purposed by former, current, and aspiring government officials. The onsite interviews of addicts coupled with testimonials from law enforcement and health care professionals signals that there is a significant need to re-evaluate our approach towards this ever increasing problem in society.
Highly recommended to watch, learn, and act.

Finally a documentary which has highlighted decades of bad policy by apparent erudite members of our government. They have been swayed by a dogma that is nothing more than a religion, and thus one cannot reason with them. The end result is sheer misery for those who have become addicted. Our cities have become shells of what they once were. The decline will continue and the time is now to force our elected officials to change the dialogue from safe supply to a recovery based model; San Patrignano, Alberta, Netherlands, Germany, Austria and the country that started the of the recovery based model, Portugal.
