Survival, Strength, Sisterhood: Power of Women in the Downtown Eastside documentary

Survival, Strength, Sisterhood: Power of Women in the Downtown Eastside is a short film that documents the 20 year history of the annual women’s memorial march for missing and murdered women in Vancouver, Coast Salish Territories. By focusing on the voices of women who live, love, and work in the Downtown Eastside this film debunks the sensationalism surrounding a neighbourhood deeply misunderstood, and celebrates the complex and diverse realities of women organizing for justice.

This 32 minute film, by Alejandro Zuluaga and Harsha Walia, is based on a concept by the Downtown Eastside Power of Women Group. This is a not-for-profit production that is available for free distribution under creative commons license.
