Daytime Toronto interview

Alternate Angle Daytime Toronto
Check out the new TV interview with some of our Jane-Finch.com staff here.
To get the
access needed to tell this story, producers enlisted two
young filmmakers. Jane-Finch.com creator Paul Nguyen and
Jane-Finch.com Executive Producer Mark Simms grew up in
Toronto's Jane and Finch neighbourhood, an area that has
waged a decades-long battle against a reputation for
violence and hopelessness. The fifth estate, together with
Simms and Nguyen as film crew, spent 10 months following
Chuckie's, Burnz' and Freshy's lives, from their criminal
exploits and encounters with the justice system to their
relationships with family, friends, and each other. Click
