“Living Below the Line”

On May 3 at 2 pm, Bells Corners United Church will host a showing of the film, Living Below the Line,
presenting true and thought-provoking stories of poverty in Canada.

Bells Corners U.C will host a showing of the film “Living Below the Line” , presenting true and thought provoking stories of poverty in Canada.
In 2022, fifteen individuals living with poverty in Waterloo Region worked with theatre artists to co-create a play about their lives. Scenes cover stigma, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bias in education, the medical system maze, partner abuse, discrimination and homelessness.
Community co-creators perform stories about their own and each others’ struggles, courage, and hope.

This well-received play has now been filmed to share these important stories more widely. You are invited to join Bells Corners United Church to watch the film, which is about 1 hour long. Following the film, three of the actors from the play will join by Zoom for a short ‘talk-back’ session. Refreshments will be served. There is no charge for this event.
