October 19th - Us & Them

US & THEM is a powerful documentary composed of striking portraits of four extraordinary individuals as they struggle with homelessness and addictions. Directed by Krista Loughton and Jennifer Abbott (THE CORPORATION), the story follows Loughton’s ten-year journey exploring the worlds of Dawnellda, Stan, Eddie and Karen, who she attempts to help.

Filmed over a decade, US & THEM is a visceral documentary that explores homelessness, addiction, and transformation through human connection.  Punctuated with First Nations wisdom and Dr. Gabor Maté’s  insight into the root  causes of addiction, the film shows there is no difference between ‘us’ and ‘them’.
