The documentary paints a vivid portrait of Point St. Charles, a notoriously bleak Montreal neighbourhood. Predominantly English‑speaking residents of Irish descent, many on welfare, live in one of Canada’s toughest districts. Though lacking community facilities, the area bursts with striking contrasts and a resilient, often high‑spirited community.
