With Glowing Hearts ... (We See Thee Rise)

.

The words in the title are from Canada's national anthem.

Embedded below is the trailer for a documentary about ... well, let's let the documentary makers speak for themselves:

.

WGH is a story about a revolution, one of social change and a paradigm shift in media representation.

Vancouver sets the stage, against the backdrop of the 2010 Winter Games, for our documentary about a marginalized community embracing social media tools to empower, inspire and breakdown the digital divide

.

I have been involved with some of the characters in this documentary, with respect to the planning and development of an unique community media arts centre known as W2, located in the heart of the DTES, the most difficult and hardscrabble part of downtown Vancouver.  It is now beset by growing gentrification and the late stages (over-simplification alert !) of a pitched conflict between poverty activists and developers and Vancouver's City Council.

It's been and continues to be an interesting ride.

There is, alas, no concern on the part of most Vancouverites for this sort of thing.

Is the gentrification proceeding? Are the developers paying off the politicians? (Are the bloody Olympics coming?!?) This is the basic attitude.

Have the people of the neighbourhood been roughed up? Beaten lately? Forced to move on? Denied the use of public thoroughfares? "Good." That's the advanced attitude.

These days (with reference to the national anthem) the True North is seldom if ever strong, and (for most) anything but free. And I say this as a fiscal conservative!

Unfortunately and unhappily, I think you are right.

All the more reason to promote such documentaries, no ?

I have to agree with you both. I was listening to CBC this morning and hearing about the no protest zones and even worse the permitted protest "cages" conveniently out of sight of anywhere it might make a difference - just like in Beijing.

Yeah, Doug .. more often than not, I wish Canada was located somewhere between Holland Denmark, France and Spain ... maybe we could swap locations with the UK ?

Maybe then we could escape the worst of the idiocy and sweep of dominant USian culture ?
