A brokered dialogue is a filmmaking technique that facilitates a series of conversations among individuals with different perspectives on a complex social issue to encourage critical thinking. This documentary, set in three mid-sized Canadian cities, brings together two individuals with lived experience of homelessness and housing insecurity, a service provider, a business owner, and a law enforcement officer. Through their discussion, the film explores the causes and consequences of homelessness, its impact on public safety, and potential pathways forward. By fostering understanding among diverse community members, the documentary aims to inspire, solution-oriented responses that promote safety and a sense of belonging for all.
