LES TICKETS
Directed by: Eric Roach Denis
Duration: 52 min
Synopsis: “TICKETS” is about the police tactic of issuing large numbers of minor infractions against homeless people in order to “evict” them from
public areas, eventually relocating them to prison. This new film by Eric “Roach” Denis—himself a former “street-kid” with thousands of
dollars of fines to his name—examines the social, financial and human cost of criminalizing Montreal’s homeless community. By following
this issue from the Ministry of Justice, to the streets, and finally to prison, the film aims to investigate what is happening to the rights of
society’s already alienated street community.
