Homelessness Action Week

October 17, 2013
Doors: 7:00 pm, Show Time: 8:00 pm
Djavad Mowafaghian Theatre, SFU Woodward’s Location: 149 West Hastings

Join us for a special film and art event to raise awareness about youth homelessness.

Based on the filmmaker’s own past experience of homelessness,
Sugar is the story of a young girl with a troubled past trying to survive on the streets of Venice Beach, California. It tells an all too common story of a troubled youth learning how to stop hiding, and to start healing. A moving, realistic look at what forces so many youth onto the streets and what they go through to survive. It is not a story of redemption, it is a story of reality.
