along with a ton of other BETTER SHIT you could be doing besides working.

In Carts of Darkness the treacherous mountain roads and discarded shopping carts of North Vancouver become the rivers and boats of self-exploration for a group of homeless ‘free birds’ who have few chances at joy. Carts of Darkness is a cinematic Trojan horse, utilizing a filmic vocabulary, visual flair and humour often missing from “message” films, as a way to bring viewers, especially young ones, to the issues. The film adopts the tropes of extreme sports filmmaking; fluid flowing cinematography, intense music, visceral pulse pounding action and irreverent characters unbounded by society’s constrictions, to bring viewers deep into a world and deep into people they would normally look away from. They’ll come for the carts and the crashes, the booze and the bruises, but they’ll stay for the story of a unique brotherhood and a quiet redemption. – Jonathan Orr

It is a story of the endurance and resourcefulness of a group of homeless men and a filmmaker trying to keep up, while overcoming perceptions around disability.

Shot in stunning high-definition, and featuring tracks from Black Mountain, Ladyhawk, Vetiver, Bison, and Alan Boyd, of Little Sparta, Carts Of Darkness captures the risk and intensity of life lived on the very edge.
