Moving Day (90 min) tells the story of the people who were left outside – quite literally –
during a global pandemic, the community that came together, and the day that could
pull them apart. This film chronicles the eviction of an encampment in Beacon Hill Park,
Victoria.
With the rise of Covid-19, shelters closed, jobs were lost, and the number of unhoused
people in Victoria swelled. A supportive community formed in the city’s biggest park and
as they learn of an ambitious plan to house everyone by March 31, 2021, uncertainty in
their futures mounts.
“Moving Day rehumanizes those experiencing homelessness, allowing the audience to
connect with and build compassion for displaced community members. We find
strength, motivation, purpose, and resilience in a connected community. This is
reaffirmed in Moving Day,” says Angela Fletcher, Coalition to End Homelessness
Coordinator.
