he City of Trail engaged Watershed Productions Inc. to help address the stigma that their most vulnerable citizens have faced. We invited folks with lived experience of substance abuse to take photos and record their stories. We worked with ANKORS, Interior Health and the City of Trail to produce this 7-minute video ‘Looking Beyond’ featuring Lisa, Cash, Jeff and Ryan. The project was facilitated by Amy Bohigian and Amber Streukens, with visual effects by Jason Williams and original music by Ben Euerby. The video can be seen on the City of Trail website here.
