A film that's rich with insights and empathy, Zack Russell's documentary provides a uniquely intimate view of a major news story that came to encapsulate the challenges faced by Toronto over its unhoused population. He does so by spotlighting the efforts of Khaleel Seivwright, a local carpenter whose campaign to build small houses for those in need earned both international attention and – after initial enthusiasm by municipal officials -- the wrath of those who deemed the growing encampments in Toronto parks to be unsafe. Though the gradual souring of Seivwright's dream to provide a better option than the existing shelter system can make for dispiriting viewing, Russell's film is suffused with a sense of hopefulness, especially when it comes to the things that can happen when the needs of society's most disadvantaged are truly heard and considered.
