Niveau scolaire 10 - 12

Heath/Personal Development / Substance Use and Abuse/Addiction

Social Studies / Contemporary Issues

Description pédagogique:

Encourage discussion around homelessness and alcoholism: How are these topics glorified in the film? In what ways could these men be considered outlaws? Is cart racing a bona fide extreme sport? In what ways is the men’s racing dangerous to themselves and others? Does the fact that they are helping the environment justify this practice? Challenge the definition of wealth, as it is depicted in the film. Consider the concept of lifestyle choices evident in the film. This film deals with mature subject matter .

      «Murray Siple's filmmaking, in his CARTS OFF DARKNESS should be inspirational to folks, including folks who have disabilities and were unaware they could also make films. FYI there is a new film school in Canada, founded by Shirley Cheechoo called http://weengushk.com WEENGUSHK FILM INSTITUTE for Aboriginals/First Nation folks and folks of diversity that will also help inspire folks to make films about themselves, their peoples, their lives. Thanks to June Chua for this clip.»
