The World of One in Five

Burwash, Gordon, (film producer.). Carney, James, (film director.). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Montreal), (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: A fifth of Canadians live at the subsistence level. This is a look at that world, where the street is home, and where poor shelter, poor food, poor schools and poor health are the only certainties of life. Children, old people, the sick and the drifters are caught in it. It is a world filmed throughout Canada so that people who are not part of it can see it, think about it, and maybe help to change it.
