Documentary exposes poverty in Canada

The Williams Lake library will show the film Courage this Wednesday, May 16.

The Cariboo Regional District Library, Williams Lake Branch presents Courage on Wednesday, May 16 at 7 p.m.

The free showing of the 52-minute documentary takes place in the library program room.

The documentary is on the issues of the “working poor,” says the introduction.

“During meetings organized by filmmaker Geoff Bowie, six Ontarians talk about having to work multiple jobs to get by and courageously explain their strategies for escaping financial vulnerability. Courage is a participatory social-issues film that emphasizes the importance of mutual aid and succeeds in condemning the taboo of poverty.”
