Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Vancouver's actual Downtown Eastside with community residents as extras, the film blurs fiction and lived reality in ways that make it deeply uncomfortable viewing.
Director Teach Grant grew up in the area; his father was a police officer there. The film's ambivalence toward law enforcement isn't performative—it's inherited.
