Who Cares - DVD/Le monde s'en fout - DVD
Description
Award-winning master of vérité cinema, Rosie Dransfeld enters the gritty and
dangerous world of Edmonton’s sex trade workers to craft a powerful new film
about women caught in a heartbreaking cycle of addiction, violence and
prostitution. Courtney, known as the “prostitute from 107th
Avenue,” struggles to stay clean; Shelly takes care of everyone but herself
when she’s not on crystal meth; and Nancy, a sweet young girl, explains her
bruises away as accidents. They drop into the Reno Pub to get out of the cold,
shoot a game of pool and swap stories with the bartender about their lives and
their dreams of getting straight. Meanwhile, in this post-Pickton era where
the unthinkable is a gruesome reality, out on the streets women voluntarily
provide DNA samples to an RCMP task force investigating the unsolved murders
of women so their next of kin can be notified if the worst should happen.
