*No Place Called Home*
No Place Called Home illustrates the desperate struggle faced by the Rices
and a growing number of working poor families.
Shot in an intimate, cinema verite style, No Place Called Home follows the
Rice Family over the course of a year as they move in search for
affordable housing.
No Place Called Home demonstrates the power of people with low income to
challenge oppressive landlords, and fight back!
*Raise the Rates*
Following the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty's (OCAP) campaign to raise
social assistance rates in Ontario in 2005-2006, this documentary features
first-hand accounts of 5 women involved in the campaign as well as footage
from special diet clinics, demonstrations, and occupations. From powerful
voices of people directly affected by the welfare system comes a demand to
raise the rates, and a determination to fight back.
