Invisible City is a moving story of two boys from Regent Park crossing into adulthood – their mothers and mentors rooting for them to succeed; 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.

Expect rich discussions with students about poverty, racism and urban violence as they follow parallel stories of two disaffected youths residing in inner-city Toronto. Media literacy activities can address choices that the director makes about showing systemic racism in education. Social scientists will find this film a great resource in discussions about ghettoization, gentrification and alienation.
