Synopsis
Through Adaptation in an Impoverished City, we weave a story of Calgary’s local heroes. How they’ve been out on the front lines helping the city recover, but also how’ve they dealt with the exploded economy and finding their own path to recovery while helping others. Along the way we learn about their situations, and how they’ve navigated their unstable work environment and uncertain future. Filmed by Calgary's own youth, we look for ways to move forward and create a sustainable future.
