Document Summary
Module 2, week 3: social difference, social class and. Invisible city documentary: documentary film by hubert davis about young black canadian men at risk in toronto"s regent park district. Davis spent three years filming two boys in their final years of high school. The primary subjects of the film are "kendell" and "mikey," students at nelson mandela park public school. Invisible city follows their struggles with academic and behavioral issues, and their sense of futility. Invisible city is a moving story of two boys from regent park crossing into adulthood their mothers and mentors rooting for them to succeed; their environment and social pressures tempting them to make poor choices. Turning his camera on the often ignored inner city, academy-award nominated director. Hubert davis sensitively depicts the disconnection of urban poverty and race from the mainstream. One of the thoughts that come to mind, is how the regent park doesn"t have a high school within their community.
