The scariest part is how many homeless people were once living normal lives. One crisis can change everything so fast.
Fentanyl is the devastating aftermath, but the engineered housing collapse is the root cause. The establishment uses the drug crisis to distract the public from how they priced the working class out of basic existence. We film the tragic human cost of this greed on these exact streets every single night. The cruelty isn't an accident; it's by design. 💔💔💔💔
Vancouver is beautiful on the surface, but this video shows the painful reality many people never see. Thank you for exposing the truth with compassion.
This so so heart breaking and its everywhere in Canada! So sad
So well said and to the absolute point, this America tragedy is truly by design and certainty not accident. Thankyou for being so honest.

I am compelled to watch these deeply distressing sights of other human beings living on the streets of North America without any protection, shelter and in particular BC state assistance in providing them with the chance to escape the living hell of homelessness on the streets, it only goes to strengthen my humanitarian Christian faith and determination to see true form of Jesus communism established around the 🌎🌍.
Fentanyl has become the new hostage taker making "Heron" look like child's play. These people had no idea what was coming when they started and literally within weeks were strung out beyond their willpower's ability to stop.
I used to ignore homeless people… until my own brother ended up on the streets for months. 0:19

Wow, what a powerful, sobering piece of work. It’s rare to find a documentary these days that balances brutal honesty with genuine compassion the way you did here. Watching this from my own comfortable home really puts everything into perspective. Truly top-tier storytelling on a topic most mainstream media outlets are too afraid to cover properly.
the police presents should be heavy in these areas drug dealers should get long sentences for selling drugs and if some1dies from an over doze it should be life for life maybe just maybe things would change for the better thats where the GOV should step in (EBY)
Real estate became income. Theres your problem. Evictions, greed, slumlords. Greed kills.
people accused China of being a communist dictatorship but said communist dictatorship have done more to eradicate this kind of thing than western democracy coddlers think about that.
