Film on Homelessness in PG Tonight
By 250 News
It's a film that's been described as a powerful and graphic look at homelessness in British Columbia.
The Way Home documents New Democrat M.L.A. David Chudnovsky's tour of B.C. Chudnovsky talked with the homeless, front line workers, and government during his trip around the province.
Chudnovsky says he hopes the film will act as a wake up call to residents and government and stimulate discussion on a way to solve what he says is a crisis.
"We don't live in Bangladesh or Guatemala. We live in British Columbia. It's 2009 and somehow we have between 10,000 and 15,000 homeless people in our province. That's an appalling number. It's one that we want everyone to know and to understand and to be concerned about."
Chudnovsky says sometimes people think of homelessness as a Vancouver problem, but he says that's not the case.
"Every town and city across the province has a crisis of homelessness, including Prince George and in Vanderhoof, Burns Lake, Smithers, and Hazelton where I'll be later this week."
The film will be shown Monday night at 7 p.m. at UNBC's Weldwood Theatre.
