#UNIGNORABLE campaign shines light on Red Deer’s homeless
A short documentary from one of Red Deer’s best-known filmmakers has uncovered some of the many faces that make up the city’s homeless and drug-using population.
The film by Rueben Tschetter of Cache Productions focuses on Turning Point’s NightReach program, and is part of a national United Way campaign which is highlighting the #UNIGNORABLE aspects of poverty.
“As a filmmaker and documentary storyteller, I try not to take sides too much, but I am empathetic, I feel for everyone in our community,” says Tschetter. “As a community, we need to do everything possible to support people who are down on their luck and who may have challenges that we can’t even imagine.”
