"Survival, Strength, Sisterhood: Power of Women in the  Downtown Eastside"


"Survival, Strength, Sisterhood: Power of Women in the  Downtown Eastside"
is a short film that documents the 20 year history of  the annual women's
memorial march for missing and murdered women in  Vancouver, Coast Salish
Territories. By focusing on the voices of women  who live, love, and work
in the Downtown Eastside this film debunks the  sensationalism surrounding
a neighbourhood deeply misunderstood, and  celebrates the complex and
diverse realities of women organizing for  justice. (32 mins)
