Kevin Loberg As my neighbours would say, Mazel Tov! 54 years & 7 grandchildren, life is definitely enriching. Like you pen name. I understand that Aathreya's lyric's made people weep due to the deep meaning in his lyrics. Very cool. I noticed that you're on Ecademy. If you send me an invitation, I'll join you there. Also, if you're on Facebook & Linkedin, you'll find me there also.

Kevin Loberg Dr. Balakrishna Ramaraju, thank you for you kind comment. Sorry, I didn't put the title up.
The movie/documentary is called "Invisible City".
Shot here in Toronto, in a neighbourhood called Regents Park, the film "looks at the lives of 2 young men growing up in the close, but struggling community their mothers and mentors root for them to succeed. But their environment and social pressures tempting them to make poor choices. Turning his camera on the often ignored inner city, Academy-award nominated director Hubert Davis sensitively depicts the disconnection of urban poverty and race from the mainstream."
For someone like myself which lives in an affluent neighbourhood nearby, having 3 kids growing up, to see the actual differences plus the incredible active humans involved within those neighbourhoods, was very moving.
