Film Description:
"Christine Browne's Them That's Not takes on the everyday outrage of women's poverty. Travelling from Toronto to Montreal to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, the film gives a face to the persistent statistics, and a voice to the people on the frontline, battling welfare police, hammerlock government policies, and middle-class indifference."

Film Description:
"This video puts a human face on the statistics relating to women and poverty. Closely monitored to ensure that they are conforming to all rules and regulations, the women featured in this video must accept having their rights and privacy violated. We share through their eyes, their voices and their experiences, what it feels like to be poor and to raise children under the scrutiny of an unsympathetic welfare system."
