Home Feeling: Struggle for a Community
This feature documentary takes us to the heart of the Jane-Finch "Corridor" in the early 1980s. Covering six square blocks in Toronto's North York, the area readily evokes images of vandalism, high-density subsidized housing, racial tension, despair and crime. By focusing on the lives of several of the residents, many of them black or members of other visible minorities, the film provides a powerful view of a community that, contrary to its popular image, is working towards a more positive future.
Jane Finch Again!
This film revisits many of the subjects of Jennifer Hodge's 1983 documentary "Home Feeling." The film explores how life has changed over the years for residents of the Jane Street and Finch Avenue area in Toronto, Ontario. The film explores issues of racism, police brutality, urban housing, and immigration.
