On housing injustice, civil disobedience and the right to shelter.
Amidst Toronto’s freezing winter and an escalating housing crisis, carpenter Khaleel Seivwright begins building insulated micro-shelters for people forced to sleep outside. His simple, hands-on response to a growing emergency draws international attention – and strong opposition from city authorities. Someone Lives Here is a powerful documentary about dignity, systemic failure, and who gets to shape the city.
Narrated by Taka, a woman living in one of the shelters, the film documents a deeply human struggle for survival and justice, while questioning why effective grassroots solutions are so often met with resistance.
The screening is introduced by Bo Heide Joakimsen from Projekt UDENFOR, an organisation working with people experiencing homelessness in public space.
