Addiction, homelessness, and open drug use have become daily sights in Canadian cities, and this film goes looking for why. It moves through encampments and downtown cores where fentanyl and needles are visible on the sidewalk, talking to addicts, outreach workers, and residents who describe neighborhoods they no longer recognize. The film traces the policy shifts behind the crisis, including harm-reduction approaches like safe supply and decriminalization, and asks whether they have eased suffering or deepened it. Interviews with people living on the street sit alongside footage of overdose responses and city streets turned into open-air markets. The film does not stay abstract about the human cost: it shows faces, names, and the physical toll of long-term addiction. Government officials and critics of current policy both get airtime, giving the film an argumentative edge about who is responsible and what should change. It ends without a tidy resolution, leaving the scale of the problem, and the disagreement over solutions, squarely in view.
