As jobs shift overseas and expanding corporations downsize to maximize profits, we are left with an ever growing gap between the haves and the have not’s. Low income communities suffer and criminal related activities worsen. Directly related to these socio-economic conditions new environments thrive that promote drug trafficking, gang growth, and increased murder rates.
Increased police presence and tougher laws do not improve these situations and the Canadian government has turned to innovative organizations like REMIX in order to find alternative solutions to alleviate these inner city ailments.
Remix has been invited to Rio by IBISS, a similar grass roots organization, to participate in a collaborative project and to share ideas and solutions for problems facing their inner city communities.
Rios “favelas” (slums) are some of the worst in the world. IBISS has pioneered new programs and created effective solutions that REMIX can learn from and apply to Toronto’s parallel problems.
This film is a chance of a lifetime, an opportunity to document the coming together of two revolutionary organizations and to capture the sharing of ideas and possible future cornerstones in community development that will be established once these two groups meet.
