UVic Poverty Law Club presents a movie screening - 12:30 pm in Room 152, Fraser Building, UVic
What: "CARTS OF DARKNESS" - In the picture-postcard community of North Vancouver, filmmaker Murray Siple follows men who have turned
bottle-picking, their primary source of income, into the extreme sport of shopping cart racing. Street life is depicted as much more than
stereotypes portrayed in mainstream media. The film takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race carts, the adversity they face, and the
appeal of cart racing despite the risk.
