Homelessness Ottawa and The Wrench, the award-winning film Lowdown Tracks on April 5th, 2017. </div><div><br></div><div>Inspired by depression-era folk songs, filmmaker Shelley Saywell and singer and activist Lorraine Segato set out to document the music and stories of those who live on the margins of society and bare their souls through their songs on the streets of Toronto. They have created Lowdown
Tracks, an acclaimed documentary film, celebrating the music and stories of those living on the margins.</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center"><b>Voted top Canadian Audience Choice award at Hot Docs in 2015! </b></div><div style="text-align:center"><br></div><div>As our homeless crisis grows, life on the margins threatens more and more people. The causes, from abuse to mental
health to simple bad luck, are all touched on in the film. At its heart, Lowdown Tracks is about bringing into focus
the heartache and the beautiful potential we should see when we walk by someone on the street. In the end, it is a
celebration of the power of music and survival. </div><div><br></div><div>“Lowdown Tracks is so important because it injects hope, purpose and creates a
sense of urgency to the work we’re doing and rallies people to take action. And
action is the name of the game. The 20,000 Homes campaign is a catalyst for
action. Lowdown Tracks is the spark.”
