Carts of Darkness is screening at the main branch of the Vancouver Public Library tonight. If you haven’t heard of this awesome flick before, here’s the skinny:

In the picture-postcard community of North Vancouver, filmmaker Murray Siple follows men who have turned bottle-picking, their primary source of income, into the extreme sport of shopping cart racing. Enduring hardships from everyday life on the streets of Vancouver, this sub-culture depicts street life as much more than stereotypes portrayed in mainstream media. The film takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race carts, the adversity they face, and the appeal of cart racing despite the risk.

It’s better than The Notebook. See you there.
