Made over a six-year period, The Street is the result of the filmmaker's total immersion into the world of the homeless. It is a gutsy, raw, moving and intimate study of three homeless Montrealers. The unique approach is neither voyeuristic nor judgmental. Characters experience cycles of addiction and recovery, hope and despair - but rise above the street with a sense of dignity, humanity and community. Set in a context which sees our civil society disintegrating and the safety-net collapsing, The Street gets deep inside a very complex social issue, beyond mediated stereotypes. By concentrating on three individuals the film makes the 'homeless problem' a personal one, allowing audiences to experience the human side of homelessness.

Canada's tar sands are an oil reserve the size of England. Extracting the crude oil called bitumen from underneath unspoiled wilderness requires a massive industrialized effort with far-reaching impacts on the land, air, water, and climate. It is an extraordinary spectacle, the scope of which can only be understood from high above. In a hypnotic flight of image and sound, one machine's perspective upon the choreography of others, suggests a dehumanized world where petroleum's power is supreme.

Every day, tons of chemicals are released into the environment, without any certainty about their possible long-term toxic effects on living organisms. Moreover, the majority of the 100,000 molecules developed since World War II that are used in everyday products have never been tested… Some of them have already found their way into our bodies and into fetuses. Up to 247 toxic substances have been found in newborns. We are bequeathing our toxic legacy to our children along with our DNA! The conclusions are disturbing and challenge the way we live.
