Themes:

Much has been said about the increase of violence in Toronto. It is clear that death at the hands of a gun is tragic and senseless, but what become of those who survive?

The Survivors Project explores the traumatic impact and implications of gun violence on young people and young black men in particular, living in low-income radicalized neighborhoods. The film follows the story of an ex-gang member from “The Town” in Rexdale.

Can we learn from his experience or has it all been said too many times? Can we reach them before they are unreachable?
