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.
