Fantastic film — equal parts bleak and charming, and always compassionate. At the time I'm reviewing this film, Vancouver is entering the eighth year of the overdose crisis, and it's disheartening to see how little things have changed since 2019. The struggles faced by OPS in East Hastings perfectly mirror the situation that has spread across Canada; I work with street-sleeping individuals in Ontario and we respond to overdoses on at least a weekly basis, sometimes daily or multiple times per day. I have seen firsthand how the closure of safe injection sites results in death and disability. We need safe consumption sites, and we need them now; perhaps even more than that, we need people to see drug users as humans, with lives and experiences just as valuable as anyone else. It has never been more important to carry Narcan/Naloxone and know how to use it. 1 month 4 weeks ago
