I was really touched by this documentary of a couple living in Canada's toughest neighbourhood. People with so much more treat each other with less dignity and grace than is shown here.

Warning: some graphic intravenous drug use is depicted.

Meet Jason Lemay and Raven Alexander. They live together in the Dodson Hotel on Vancouver's downtown Eastside. Vancouver photojournalist Rafal Gerszak explores the struggle of their daily lives and their bond of dedication and friendship.
