Description du film [en anglais] :
« The Jane-Finch 'Corridor' is an area of six square blocks in Toronto's North York. To the residents of Metro Toronto, the Corridor evokes images of vandalism, high-density subsidized housing, racial tension, despair and crime. By focusing intimately on the lives of several of the residents, many of them Blacks or members of other visible minorities, and their relationship with police, social service agencies, and other major institutions that affect their lives, the film provides a powerful view of a community that, contrary to its popular image, is working towards a more positive future. »

Citation sur Home Feeling: Struggle for a Community [en anglais]

« Compared to similar Black British documentaries about police-Black community relations [...] there is very little direct critique of the police in Home Feeling. [...] Instead, Home Feeling prefers to indict police officers and administration with a strategic use of their own words, and to counter racist image-making by constituting the police—rather than Black youth—as an unspoken, ever present threat throughout. »
-- Cameron Bailey (source)
