Synopsis
Éducation et guides pédagogiques

Murray Siple's feature-length documentary follows a group of homeless men who have combined bottle picking with the extreme sport of racing shopping carts down the steep hills of North Vancouver. This subculture shows that street life is much more than the 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. Shot in high-definition and featuring tracks from Black Mountain, Ladyhawk, Vetiver, Bison, and Alan Boyd of Little Sparta.

Ce film traite d'un sujet controversé. Pour public averti.

I just happened upon this film while flipping through channels. So glad I saw it. What a gem. I've always said, don't judge, you don't know their story, everyone has a story. I will definitely look for more films from this great writer and film maker.

How can I help these guys? I am serious. Where can we reach them to give them some comfortable furniture and good food? I just saw this film on Knowledge and now see that it was made in 2008. How are they all doing? Is Fergie okay?

Such a very awesome film, which makes me feel more grateful to the homeless now. Good Job

This documentary is great, it shows how we can have a little bit oh humanity among us. Great Canadian production.

Thank you so much for this fabulous documentary! I have shared it with friends that understand the different plights, struggles and victories of our disconnected existance in a "privileged" society. Thanks for keeping it real!!

I wanted to know what film equipment Muray and the DP used in this documentary. It was showcasing all over in 2009, so I would assume it was neither the 5Dmk2 or Canon 7D, so information on the equipment would be greatly appreciated :) Great documentary btw and I'm glad that Fergie, Al and Bob are doing well.

So much information on which to base decision? I wonder why we do not do a better job.

Wish I could help them all, IF They wanted HELP!

Hi Elaineee! I forwarded your question to director Murray Siple and here is what he replied: "Fergie is alive. He lives at the local shelter and is no longer picking bottles as his disability prevents him from it. Bob has moved from his trailer and now lives downtown with his girlfriend. Big Al hasn't changed and is still up to his game. He's not happy about the colder weather though." Thanks for your interest! Carolyne

Well, Im glad the guys are doing alright even thoe I dont think they are really happy with the way they are living other than the dude with the trailer, is Fergie still alive?I'd take him in.

I love it, can't describe my feelings towards this film, simply mind boggling

Great film, and loved the ending when Murray shows his trust, though, I'd probably where a helmet! Very engaging and touching film.

Amazing video. This video helped me to really be thankful for the little I have. Murry Siple was real and I treated these men with up-most respect and dignity in the film. Way to go!

"frame of reference" : stepping into the shoes of someone else, unbias and non-judgemental..........................Murray captured the subjects and his audience in the stereotypical world of the"less fortunate".............if only the "normal" people realize, humanity of this kind, is the wisest.....

An informative look into a life not too many people know about or could understand. A wonderful film about people who "missed the boat", sometimes through their own choosing.I'm a visual artist. This film makes me want to get into making films. I was a still photographer for 25 years, maybe I should try motion pictures.

This is an amazing film - thank you for this sensitive (and thrilling) look into the lives of the cart-racers!

Great film, loved it. Don't stop making films! Feel this film will stay with me for sometime. Not a usual feeling in our times of flash of light stimulations. It seems that your ability to capture "humanity" reflects what I imagine to be your core.

Fergie taught me how to play the memory game when I was like 5 and was a realy good guy that always took time for the little people.

The homeless (the unseen) are the last of the great frontier! Cowboys on bucking carts. Out of the block and down the treacherous hills! Inside this invisible community of misfits and outcast live real people. Look closer next time. You might really see someone inside.
