Upcoming documentary puts spotlight on Kelowna’s unhoused population
The 45-minute film follows unhoused residents and says 45% of study participants linked grief to the time their lives fell apart, filmmakers said.
- On Monday, June 22, the 45-minute documentary The White Cart Memorial releases on Vimeo, spotlighting homelessness and grief in Kelowna through co-directors Joshua Black and Stephanie Laing.
- The Centre for Palliative Care and the Kelowna Homelessness Research Centre produced the project to address how unhoused people face exclusion from traditional bereavement support systems, complicating loss and healing.
- According to a Kelowna-based study, 45 per cent of participants connected grieving a death to "the time they felt life fell apart." Loss echoes through the struggling community.
- Laing described the production as a profoundly impactful experience, hoping the film helps people understand the challenges unhoused individuals face regarding community remembrance and universal grief.
- While grief is universal, the film reveals not all grief receives equal recognition. The creators aim to improve support systems for those without a Fixed Address, ensuring losses are acknowledged.
