Film Screening – Devil Plays Hardball

“If you could get one person off the street, would you? Could you?”

Devil Plays Hardball is a radical interventionist documentary by Paperny Films that seeks to answer this question. Four well-established Vancouver residents have 10-months to mentor homeless individuals from various Vancouver neighborhoods who have the desire - but not necessarily the means - to re-enter mainstream society. What ensues is a complicated journey that provides an up-close and intimate look at a group of people most of us choose to ignore - Canada's homeless.
