Can These Young Men Escape Poverty & Crime in the Projects? | Real Stories

Invisible City is a moving story of two childhood friends from Regent Park, Canada's oldest public housing project, as they cross into adulthood. With their mothers and mentors rooting for them to succeed, their environment and social pressures tempt them to make poor choices. Turning his camera on the often ignored inner city, Academy-award nominated director Hubert Davis sensitively depicts the disconnection of urban poverty and race from the mainstream. Shot over three years, the two boys face racial injustice, poverty and poor housing as they try to avoid criminal records.
