The United Way Prince Edward Island and the Cooper Institute are excited to bring the much buzzed about film, Us and Them, to Charlottetown. The documentary will screen at the University of Prince Edward Island on Tuesday, May 9, and filmmaker Krista Loughton will be in attendance. Us and Them chronicles Loughton's personal experience befriending four chronically homeless people. Using the First Nations Medicine Wheel, she sets out to help them but they end up helping her. The story digs deep into the root causes of homelessness and addiction. Following the screening of the film, Krista Loughton will respond to questions from the audience about her experiences in making this film. The event wraps up with short presentations from local community experts who will share their thoughts on how Islanders can take action to end poverty and homelessness on Prince Edward Island.
